Simplest and quickest way to portray an application for development : <p>As a designer I sometimes feel the need to portray the main idea of an application in a graphical form like a flowchart. Something that is easy enough to understand for the development firms and could convey the purpose of the application and possibly the main features it needs to provide which they could ultimately use to reply back with recommendations, rough estimates and turn around times.</p>

<p>The application will still be in the ideation phase so creating a prototype is an overkill. I could do it as a flowchart but I thought there should already be a conventional way professionals follow instead of going through meetings or typing up the details. </p>

<p>How do you go about doing this? If flowchart is the way to go then what type of flowcharts work best here? I just need the initial direction so I could start my research. </p>

<p>For example for an application with 3 different sets of dashboards for customers, providers and admins how can I demonstrate the rough logic that connects all functions between these 3 type of users?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
