User flow diagram types and software

[xpland_nguyen]

Hi Everyone,

Good day!
I am working on user flow diagram for one of my clients. I am trying to decide whether I should develop:

• a generic diagram (something like this http://www.everystockphoto.com/photo.php?imageId=11378903)
• one diagram with simple screens (like this https://dribbble.com/shots/3248149-MedMinder-App-User-Flow-Diagram).

Do you think develop one with simple screens add a lot of value during presentation with clients. Sometimes I feel like it takes too much time… Also, might I know which softwares are you using to develop user flow diagram with screens?

Many thanks,
Minh

Generic diagram makes sense for early stage where the flow is subject to change.

Hi,
I also I agree with the comments. Don’t let the client get hung up on visuals when presenting user flow. I feel that even the simple screens, you referenced, is one iteration in the process after wireframes.
