Flowcharts offer a graphical or symbolic representation of a process and make it easier to understand concepts and recognise relationships between the interactions. Mind maps on the other hand are useful at uncovering the relationships between multiple ideas and are not bound by linear concepts such as time and work flow.
For this week's exercise, set up account for one online flowchart site and one mindmap site and try out the tools for yourself.
