What is a flowchart? A process refers to a series of continuous and logically ordered activities or steps aimed at accomplishing a specific goal or producing a particular outcome. This concept can be applied to various contexts, including the field of project management. One key characteristic of a process is its "sequentiality." That is, steps within a process are arranged in a specific order, and the execution of each step usually depends on the completion of the prior step. In Teambition flowcharts, each step in the process is represented as individual tasks. When reading a chart from left to right, the lines connecting the tasks represent the predecessor-successor relationship between these steps. Taking the chart below as an example, tasks such as "Form Project Team," "Project Kickoff Conference," and "Product Design Plan" can only start after the completion of the initial task "Project Kickoff." Also, the task "Phase I Results Delivery" can only begin after tasks "Product Design Plan" and "Project Risk Review" are completed.

With the Teambition flowchart application, the sequential relationship of tasks is visualized with connecting lines. No matter how complex the project is, it can be clearly and visually presented, helping users to identify and rectify potential problems before implementation and thus plan their work more effectively.
🔑 How to enable the application?
Click on the "+" on the project navigation bar to enter the application center. Find the "Flowchart" application under the "Project Management" category and install it, or directly search for the application in the search box and install it.
🧵 How to configure the process?
Step 1: Initialize the flowchart
If there are already multiple "Finish-Start" dependencies between tasks inside the project, the flowchart application will generate a flowchart upon its first installation.
If there are no "Finish-Start" dependencies between tasks within the project, the canvas will be blank after installing the Flowchart application.
Click "Add Task" to manually select or create new tasks and set predecessor-successor dependencies between multiple tasks.
Step 2: Create a new dependency
In the flowchart, there are two methods to set up a "Finish-Start" dependency between tasks.
1. Drag the connection: Move the mouse to the edge of a task on the right side, click the small arrow next to the task, drag the arrow to another task to quickly create a "Finish-Start" dependency between the two tasks.
2. Click the plus sign: Select a specific task and click the "plus" icon next to it. You can then add a successor task, creating a "Finish-Start" dependency relationship.
Step 3: Delete dependency
In the flowchart, select a line connecting tasks, and a delete icon will appear. Clicking on this delete icon will remove the connection between tasks.
It is worth noting that deleting the line only removes the "Finish-Start" dependency between tasks but does not delete the tasks themselves.
