A flowchart shows the steps in a process. It uses standard symbols like rectangles, diamonds, ovals, and arrows. Rectangles represent each step or activity. Diamonds show decision points where the process can take different paths based on the answer. Ovals indicate the starting and ending points. Arrows show the direction and flow between steps. Flowcharts help visualize a process and ensure all steps are included.
