Control-flow diagram

This article is about flow diagrams in business process modeling[clarification needed]. For directed graphs representing the control flow of imperative computer programs, see control-flow graph.
Example of a "performance seeking" control-flow diagram.[1]

A control-flow diagram (CFD) is a diagram to describe the control flow of a business process, process or review.

Control-flow diagrams were developed in the 1950s, and are widely used in multiple engineering disciplines. They are one of the classic business process modeling methodologies, along with flow charts, drakon-charts, data flow diagrams, functional flow block diagram, Gantt charts, PERT diagrams, and IDEF.[2]
