A successful flowchart will be able to convey information in a clear, coherent, and organized manner. Common elements of a flowchart include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A sequence of actions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Materials or services that come in and out of the process (inputs and outputs)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Decisions that need to be made<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>People involved<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Timescale or duration of each step<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Clear communication is the key to creating flowcharts. The ultimate goal of your flowchart should be to help those involved fully understand how the process works and what their part is in making it work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you proceed to make a PowerPoint flowchart, here are some tips and considerations to look into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Get feedback from people involved in the process to ensure accuracy and consistency in the flowchart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your audience in mind and avoid technical terms to make sure the details of your flowchart will make sense to them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the right symbols to make the process flow logically.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"#toc\">Return to Table of Contents<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how\">How to make a flowchart in PowerPoint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to make a flowchart in PowerPoint is to use the SmartArt feature.

Equivalent to one step in the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Terminator symbol:<\/strong> Represents the start and end of a process.

Represents the required input or produced output at a certain stage in the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Connector symbol:<\/strong> Ideal for complex diagrams, it is shaped like a circle and used to link to another flowchart.
