**randomization is an important part of creating a good product. A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows. Benefits of using a flowchart: visual clarity. One of the biggest benefits of a flowchart is the tool"s ability to visualize multiple progresses and their sequence into a single document. Stakeholders throughout an organization can easily understand the workflow while finding out which step is unnecessary and which progress should be improved: instant communication. Simply clarifying progresses offers an easy, visual method to help team members instantly understand what they should do step by step: effective coordination. For project managers and resource schedulers, the benefits of a flowchart include the ability to sequence events and reduce the potential for overburdening team members.
