Bubbl.us - Online Flowchart Application with Some Much Needed Simplicity
November 6th, 2007 in Business & Process
by: Matthew Griffin
In the past, admittedly dragging my feet, I've been put a position where I've had to research flowchart applications for clients. I've never really liked flowchart software. In my opinion using complicated flowchart software to plan a project only delays starting actual work and, by the end of the project, show us how arrogant we were to assume we could foresee every possible pitfall. In short, the benefits of planning for two hours tend to be about the same a planning for a week. The efficiency curve drops dramatically somewhere early on in the planning phase.
That being said, planning is still very important. We should be looking for tools that make the planning process more efficient (especially for those of us who are planning junkies). Bubbl.us is definitely one of these tools. A Flash based (so passe, I know) free online application, Bubbl.us presents an intuitive set of tools to create fast and easy flowcharts and share them with the world. That's it! No junk features. I definitely recommend it and hope that the creators stick to their original vision as the pressure mounts to complicate the wonderfully simplistic tool.
