Calculator Library / Process Mapping
Build a cross-functional process map with swimlanes for each department, role, or system. Add steps, assign each one to a lane, mark start/end and decision points, and watch the flowchart render live before you print or export it.

Structure: Swimlanes x Sequenced Steps
Steps flow left to right in the order listed below within each lane. Word and Google Docs exports download an HTML step list. Excel exports an `.xls` worksheet, and Google Sheets exports a CSV file.

Name each swimlane after the department, role, or system that owns a group of steps. Then list the process steps in the order they happen, assigning each one to its lane and marking whether it is a start/end point, a process step, or a decision. The preview draws the flow left to right, bending the connector down or up whenever the process hands off to a different lane.
| Tool | Best For |
|---|---|
| SIPOC Diagram | High-level scoping before detailed mapping begins |
| Process Map / Swimlane Flowchart | Detailed step sequence and ownership across departments |
| Value Stream Map | Material and information flow with cycle times and takt time |

A cross-functional process map, also called a swimlane diagram, arranges process steps into horizontal lanes by department, role, or system, making handoffs between groups visible at a glance.
SIPOC stays high level for scoping. A Value Stream Map focuses on material and information flow with cycle times. A process map shows the detailed step-by-step sequence and which role or department owns each step.
Rounded end-cap shapes mark the start or end of the process. Rectangles are process steps. Boxes outlined in the accent color are decision points.
Yes. This tool supports print or save-as-PDF, Word-compatible HTML, Excel-compatible spreadsheet output, Google Docs-compatible HTML, and Google Sheets-compatible CSV of the step list.
