Finding Work-Flow4:53
Work? It's what we do. So workflows are everywhere.

Universally recognizable, key Flowcharting symbols have been documenting both requirements, as well as work-in-progress, for decades.

From charting work to identifying your subject-matter experts (S.M.Es), let's get started by exploring a basic working-flow discovery process!
Flowcharting Views & Levels2:58
Many things can change depending upon a "certain point of view?"

Spanning automated, manual as well as understandable service recovery and assurance, let's next discover how to separate any flow into step-by-step process views... as well as high and low diagramming detail-levels.
Solution: Design & Document Management4:58
Review our solution and understand why charting process flows is often a discovery process.
Solution: Flowcharting Level of Detail4:03
Compare and contrast our high- and low-level solutions to the previous service-station activity.

Dare we say which detail level is better?
Processes, Decisions, Connectors, and Terminals14:20
It's time to start creating some flows.

In this lesson we'll learn how to place, connect, as well as "loop" through common flowcharting operations.
Solution: Modern Procedures & Flows3:20
Our solution to the previous activity will help you appreciate many ways to improve your charts and flows.
Devices, Inputs, Displays & Data3:09
Support for computerized input, displays, and data access requirements are often amongst the very first reasons why we'll choose to use flowcharts.

Let's find out why!
Solution: Automating Flows3:54
Let's learn how Flowcharts can help navigate our minds across several operational flows.
Charting Manual Destinations3:28
Learn how to add manual processes and human pauses into any process flow.
Solution: Printing Flows4:11
The flowcharting symbols we choose to use allow us to emphasize the actual devices and operations that we'll need.
Solution: Symbols-To-Software2:18
We certainly now know why choosing the proper symbols, views, as well as charting-levels can be important.

But what if we're designing for software development experts?
Case Study: Service Orientation6:19
Modern Flowcharts REALLY BEGIN TO SHINE when we start discussing how to keep providing company services ... no matter what.
Case Study: Service Oriented Solution1:34
In this lesson we'll discover yet another REAL VALUE of using Modern Flowcharts: How to chart & flow our services - or plan to keep the company doors open - even when the power goes out!?
Conclusion: What Everyone Knows?9:37
Now we know what flowcharting is all about!

Let's look at how to use modern Flowcharting innovation to prove that we're now flowcharting gurus!

Requirements

No previous experience is required.

Description

If you have ever wondered what the heck people are doing drawing all of those lines & pictures, then Design 2000: Modern Flowcharts is for you. -Far more than merely covering which-glyphs-belong-where, in this 2000 educational opportunity I'll also show you the secrets of conducting your own software, service, or work-flow design process.

In this 2000 Level opportunity you will start by appreciating the common flowcharting operations. From lines and processes to page connectors & terminals you will actually be participating in a real-world flow-detection and documentation process.

Leaving the basics, Design 2000 will next review the set of flowcharting symbols that most software development professionals understand.

Diagraming flows for display devices, data processing and advanced workflows are covered. Understanding how to detail transitional flows, decisions, and procedures between outputs - such as reports, cards, databases, as well as point-of sale receipts - are also explained.

Leaving the software and automated realm Design 2000 explores how to document modern manual operations is also covered. A special case study, you will be learning the importance of Service Orientation: How to mix-in, diagram, and discuss transitions between automated and manual business operations.

Finally, I believe that even more experienced process documenters and designers will find the closing flowcharting best-practices to be enlightening. From actors, swimlanes, clouds, and designing fail-over services, Design 2000 is designed to ignite any eager-planner's imagination and propel your thought processes to the next level.

Who this course is for:

Students who would like to learn how to use Modern Flowcharts
Designers looking to appreciate modern flow-charting best practices
Decision-makers looking to define worst-case service fulfillment operations
Disaster-recovery, DevOps & workflow planners, professionals and consultants
Anyone looking to master THE industry-standard way to organize & manage ideas!
