Process diagrams must be independently understandable, not just visually clean

This article discusses the importance of clear and understandable process diagrams, especially when generating them with AI tools. The author emphasizes that the primary goal of a process diagram is to guide an independent reader through a sequence of steps without ambiguity. A key criterion for evaluating a diagram's effectiveness is whether a reader, without the author's input, can correctly identify the next step and the final outcome. The article suggests creating a brief outlining the essential information the diagram must convey before generation, and then rigorously testing the diagram's clarity by having an independent reviewer navigate it.
