Swimlane flowchart template

An order-fulfilment process across three lanes, with a decision point and both of its branches.

Open this in the editor or download the board

Swimlanes answer the question a plain flowchart leaves out: not just what happens, but who does it. That is usually the interesting part, because the handovers between lanes are where processes actually go wrong. Rename the lanes to your own teams and the shape normally survives.

What is in it

Three labelled lanes: Customer, Warehouse and Finance
Start and end markers, a decision diamond, and its Yes and No branches
Steps that sit inside a lane and move with it when the lane moves

Editing it

Everything is editable. Double-click a table's title to rename it, click a cell to change a column, and click the badge beside a column to cycle it through PK and FK. Drag a row onto another table's row to draw a relationship between those exact columns.
