Flowchart Best Practices

Consistency in Symbols and Arrows

Always use the same shapes and arrows throughout your flowchart to maintain consistency. This helps your audience know what to expect.

Keeping It Readable

Ensure your text is legible and that the flowchart isn’t too crowded. Use larger fonts if necessary and leave plenty of space between symbols.

Adding Annotations for Clarity

If necessary, include brief annotations beside your symbols to clarify any steps or decisions. These can make the flowchart even more useful.
