Cross-Functional Flowchart by Hiro Studio
A cross-functional flowchart or process map is a great way to visually represent the individual steps or activities in a process flow and show the relationship between each process step and the individual or team that is responsible for completing those steps or activities.
If you are experiencing the following symptoms in one or more of your business processes, this type of process map can be very helpful:
unnecessary complexity
duplication of work
re-work
poor performance
inefficiencies or inconsistent results
choke points or bottlenecks
Process maps are often eye-opening even to those who have intimate knowledge of a particular process as they learn what happens outside of their immediate area of influence (outside of their swimlane). When we document a process flow, we get everyone on the same page by removing assumptions of what we think is happening, and we document what is actually happening.Each swimlane can represent:
An internal stakeholder group, department, business unit, or functional team
An external stakeholder group, such as suppliers, customers, or contractors"

Production Flowchart Template
Works best for:
Flowcharts
The Production Flowchart Template is a well-crafted tool that clearly represents a production process from start to finish. It breaks down complex procedures into easy-to-understand segments, making it easier for stakeholders to grasp the entire process. One of the key benefits of using this template is that it helps to clarify complex production pathways. By mapping out operations visually, teams can identify potential bottlenecks or inefficiencies, facilitating timely and well-informed decision-making.
Entity Relationship Diagram Template
Works best for:
Flowcharts, Strategic Planning, Diagrams
Sometimes the most important relationships in business are the internal ones—between the teams, entities, and actors within a system. An entity relationship diagram (ERD) is a structural diagram that will help you visualize and understand the many complex connections between different roles. When will an ERD come in handy? It’s a great tool to have for educating and onboarding new employees or members of a team, and our template makes it so easy to customize according to your unique needs.
Production Workflow Template
Works best for:
Agile Workflows, Agile Methodology, Project Management
Whether you’re producing a podcast, a marketing campaign, a TV show, or a piece of content, establishing a production workflow is crucial. A production workflow creates a visual guide to the different steps in a process. It can be used to train new team members or give a high-level overview to stakeholders. Although production workflows vary by team and business, they generally contain information about who the stakeholders are, how you brainstorm ideas, what your timeline looks like, and what resources you need to succeed.
AHA! Moment Flowchart
Works best for:
Mapping, Flowcharts
The AHA! Moment Flowchart template offers a visual tool for mapping out the journey of users or customers and identifying key moments of realization or insight (AHA moments). It provides a structured framework for documenting user interactions, emotions, and pain points throughout their journey. This template enables teams to understand user experiences, identify opportunities for improvement, and enhance product or service offerings. By promoting empathy and customer-centric design, the AHA! Moment Flowchart empowers organizations to create meaningful and impactful user experiences effectively.
Flowchart Template
Works best for:
Flowcharts, Mapping, Diagrams
Trying to explain a process or workflow to your team — or just wrap your head around it yourself? Sometimes the best way is to see it, and that’s when you create a flowchart. Using common shapes (generally just ovals, rectangles, diamonds, and arrows), a flowchart shows you the direction a process or workflow goes and the order of steps. Beyond giving you a clear understanding, you’ll also be able to see potential flaws and bottlenecks, which helps you refine and improve your process and create a better product more efficiently.
User Flow Template
Works best for:
Desk Research, Flowcharts, Mapping
User flows are diagrams that help UX and product teams map out the logical path a user should take when interacting with a system. As a visual tool, the user flow shows the relationship between a website or app’s functionality, potential actions a user could take, and the outcome of what the user decides to do. User flows help you understand what a user does to finish a task or complete a goal through your product or experience.
