Visual brainstorming

Draw the part that’s hard to explain.

Two people can describe the same process while picturing different paths. Lay the steps out in a GGyess diagram and connect the shapes to agree on how one stage leads into the next.

A GGyess diagram connects colored shapes with a directional arrow. — An arrow between two shapes shows their relationship. Add more to map out steps, choices or decisions.

Step by step

Visual brainstorming

In day-to-day work

Sketch the sequence

Draw the steps as shapes in a diagram and label them. Walk through the sequence with the team before you assign the work.

The agreement in writing

Draft the wording in a text document. Use a page with blocks for a brief that brings instructions, decisions and deliverables together.

Break down a larger task

Put quick checks on the main task. If a piece of work needs its own status, make it a subtask so people can follow its progress.

Before you start

A few good questions.

When is a diagram more useful than a document?

Use a diagram when order, branching or relationships matter. Use a document when the decision needs a written explanation.

Can I do calculations in a document?

Choose a Sheet document for cells and formulas such as SUM. Use Text or Page for narrative material.
