Here’s a complete guide on How to Design a Flowchart, and I’ll prepare it in PDF format for
you.
How to Design a Flowchart – A Complete Guide
✅ What is a Flowchart?
A flowchart is a visual representation of a process, algorithm, or workflow. It uses symbols to
depict actions, decisions, and the flow of data from one step to another.
✅ Why Use Flowcharts?
● Simplify complex processes
● Communicate ideas clearly
● Identify inefficiencies
● Plan algorithms and programs
● Improve decision-making
✅ Common Flowchart Symbols
Symbol Meaning
Oval Start/End
Rectangle Process/Operatio
n
Diamond Decision
Parallelogram Input/Output
Arrow Flow direction
✅ Steps to Design a Flowchart
1. Understand the process
Break down the entire process you want to visualize.
2. Identify start and end points
Define where the process begins and ends.
3. List all steps
Write each action or decision in the order it occurs.
4. Use the correct symbols
Assign appropriate shapes to each step.
5. Connect the steps
Use arrows to indicate the flow of steps and decisions.
6. Test the flowchart
Review the diagram to ensure it accurately represents the process.
✅ Example Flowchart – ATM Withdrawal

Dispense Cash → Print Receipt → End
Decisions:
● Is PIN valid?
● Is the account balance sufficient?
✅ Tips for Effective Flowcharts
✔ Keep it simple and clear
✔ Avoid crossing lines
✔ Use consistent symbols
✔ Label every step
✔ Validate the flow with stakeholders
✅ Tools to Create Flowcharts
● Pen and paper
● Microsoft Visio
● Lucidchart
● Draw.io
● Google Slides/Docs
