    What is a Business Diagram?

    Business diagrams are used to visually represent business processes, plans, strategies, and solutions. While there are multiple types of business diagrams that are used across different departments in an organization, some of the popular business diagram types include process maps, SWOT diagrams, organizational charts, roadmaps, and workflow diagrams.

    How to Create a Business Diagram Collaboratively?

    1. Open Creately and create a workspace for your business diagram. Add relevant team members or stakeholders as collaborators to allow them to make edits. You can use real-time mouse cursors and synced previews to easily track the changes other participants make in the workspace.

    2. Perform a thorough analysis of the different business elements and plans to be included in the business diagram. As the team comes up with ideas, they can put them down on sticky notes and add them on a post-it note wall on the canvas.

    3. Identity key diagram types which will be essential for decision making and strategic planning. Creately provides a wide variety of business diagram types to visualize your business plans, models, and processes. Browse through Creately templates library and select a desired business diagram type. Or you can enable the relevant shape library and create one from scratch.

    4. Using the information gathered, create a rough draft of the business diagram. Then customize and edit the business plan diagram to the organization’s requirements and brand guidelines.

    5. As you create the business diagram, team members and colleagues can provide real-time feedback on changes or improvements using comments. Changes done to the diagram can be tracked and reverted with version history.

    6. Finalize the business diagrams and share them with multiple stakeholders in various image formats. Alternatively, you can also use an embed code to securely embed the diagram in any site, intranet, or app.
