Block Diagram Maker

1. Create your workspace

Begin by opening a Creately workspace. Add your team as collaborators to work together with them on the same workspace. You can use real-time mouse cursors and synced previews to easily track the changes other participants make in the workspace.

2. Gather information

Collect all the necessary information about the system or process, including inputs, outputs, and the functions or processes that transform the inputs into outputs. As the team brainstorms, add the ideas using sticky notes on to the canvas.

3. ​​Create a rough draft

Use Creately’s purpose built shapes, such as rectangles or circles, to represent the main components of the system or process. Use the Plus Create feature to easily connect shapes with arrows to indicate the flow of data.

4. Add text and annotations

Identify and label your inputs and outputs- this refers to the starting points of a process and the resultant action that occurs along the way.

5. Organize and align the components

Use layout and alignment tools to arrange the components in a clear and organized way. Choose colors, fonts, and line styles that make the diagram easy to read and understand.

6. Review and finalize

Review the block diagram for accuracy and completeness. Make any necessary changes and finalize the diagram. Share the diagram with others, such as team members, and receive feedback and suggestions for improvements with contextual comments right on the diagram itself.
