Creating a flowchart can simplify even the most complex processes by visualizing each step clearly. 🌟 Whether you're working on a project with your team or organizing your own tasks, Miro offers a user-friendly platform to design efficient flowcharts. 🖥️ Let's walk through the process of building a flowchart in Miro, using a fun example: acquiring an office pet! 🐰

1. Open the Template Picker:
   • Access the left-hand toolbar in Miro.
   • Select a blank flowchart template.
2. Add the First Step:
   • Decide the initial step for your flowchart.
   • For example, "Are pets allowed in the office building?" is a decision point.
   • Select a diamond shape to represent this decision and type your question.
3. Delete Unnecessary Shapes:
   • Remove any extra shapes by selecting and deleting them.
4. Connect Nodes:
   • Select the first node.
   • Click on the blue dot to connect it to the next node.
5. Branching Options:
   • From the decision node, create branching options (e.g., "Yes" and "No").
   • Use activity rectangles to represent different steps for each branch.
6. Survey Co-workers:
   • Replace the text in the activity rectangle with the next step, such as "Survey co-workers for their preferences and allergy information."
7. Identify the Top Choice:
   • Add a new node by clicking a rectangle and then a blue dot.
   • Type in the step, such as "Identify the top choice for the office pet from the survey."
8. Decision for Suitability:
   • Add a new shape for the next step.
   • Use the shapes panel (press 'S') to select a rectangle.
   • Type "Is the selected pet suitable for an office setting?"
   • Turn this shape into a decision diamond by clicking the shape icon and selecting the diamond shape.
9. Matching Colors:
   • Ensure consistency by matching the color of the new decision node with the previous decision node.
   • Click on the node and change the color from the menu.
10. Align Shapes:
    • Select all elements in the area by clicking and dragging.
    • Use the filter to select only shapes.
    • Click on "Align" to arrange them properly.
11. Correct Arrow Directions:
    • Select any arrow that is in the wrong direction.
    • Click the icon to reverse its direction.
12. Add Text to Arrows:
    • Double-click on arrows to add text, such as "Yes" or "No."
13. Publish the Flowchart:
    • Once your flowchart is complete and fine-tuned, publish it on Confluence or another platform.
14. Begin the Process:
    • Start implementing the documented process (e.g., choosing an office pet).
