Business flow charts can help us sort out our business and express our needs efficiently. In particular, product managers often use business flow charts when sorting out business. Business flow charts will help sort out product business processes before product managers draw prototypes, and avoid useless work.
Today, I will introduce the basic introduction, common scenarios and drawing methods of the business process diagram, so that everyone can have a basic understanding of the business process diagram.
1. Business flow chart
Business Flow Diagram (Transaction Flow Diagram, TFD) is a diagram that describes the business relationship between units and personnel in the management system, the sequence of operations and the flow of management information. It uses some prescribed symbols and connections to represent the processing process of a specific business, helping analysts find out the unreasonable flow in the business process.
Business flow chart is a piece of data for managers to conduct system analysis. It is also a tool for system analysts and business operators to communicate with each other. System analysts can use business flow charts to draw out computer processing parts.
Business flowcharts can be divided into basic business flowcharts and cross-functional flowcharts. The basic business flowchart mainly describes the process of a single role when dealing with a certain matter, and the cross-functional business flowchart describes the process of multiple roles handling a certain matter at the same time.

3. Drawing of business flow chart
Before drawing, it is necessary to sort out the business first, which can basically be summarized into 5 steps: role (role involved), task (what is the task), sequence (clear sequence of process), exception (predict the exception that will occur) and solutions), fine-tune (optimize and adjust your business flow chart). The business flow chart drawn in 5 steps can completely and accurately describe the business execution process, and at the same time improve the reading experience of others.
After sorting out the business, you can start drawing.
