I recently PM'd a couple of the experts here (I forgot to include IianB!)-superboyac (June 25, 2010, 09:50 AM)

Please don't refer to me as, or imply that I am an "expert". The term seems to indicate that the person knows everything there is to know on a subject.
I might be an experienced consultant and practitioner of business process analysis/modeling and improvement, and I certainly can see where people are going down the wrong paths that I might have been down, but I have already indicated that I am rich in "withdom" and relatively poor in wisdom. There's probably still a lot to learn that I am not aware of.

i'm sorry.

@superboyac: Ha-ha. Nothing to apologise for. I just do not profess to be an expert, that's all.
I just noticed I had spelt it wrong in my post - should be "withdumb". I have corrected it.

If all you need is nice flow charts, ConceptDraw Pro can do that and it's not all that difficult to use (I figured it out without reading the help file)
If you want more than that, ConceptDraw Office might be a better option.

In terms of business process modelling software, business units most often turn to software they already have rather than putting in a requisition to purchase specialized software. This often means Microsoft Office suite of products inclusing Visio.
Open source software alternatives which are also portable (for those computers which are locked down and prevents the installation of new software) are:

Ok, I have a flowchart, but it is too big to fit on one 8.5x11 page. How can I show this on letter size paper by splitting it up? The arrows kind of go all over the place, so there's no easy point to simply break and say "continue on next page". Do any of you have ideas? I have 4 swimlanes. It fits great on 11x17, but I don't know how to show it in our printable manual.
