How to Visually Express 7 Different Processes

Trainers, public speakers, and technical writers always look for a visually attractive way to present abstract ideas. One way to do that is to use PROCESS CHARTS.
Here are 7 such ideas (all created with SMART ART tools of MS Word 2007 and 2010):
1) BASIC TIMELINE

2) TIMELINE WITH TASK LIST

3) TOP-DOWN VERTICAL PROCESS

4) STAGGERED PROCESS (multiple processes take place at the same time even though they start off at different times)

5) BENDING PROCESS

6) PARTS ADD UP TO SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THEIR SUM

7) ENDLESS LOOP – PERPETUAL CYCLE
