editable Cross Functional Flow Chart PowerPoint Template

Description

Organize complex operations across departments using this cross-functional swimlane flow chart slide, featuring color-coded process blocks, decision diamonds, and data storage symbols arranged across vertical swimlanes. Each lane is separated by dashed grey dividers and labeled with placeholder titles for teams or functions. Orange process rectangles, green decision diamonds, and blue on-page/off-page reference shapes stand out against a clean white background to clearly delineate workflow steps. Directional arrows connect shapes with “Yes”/“No” callouts to illustrate decision paths. A dedicated legend slide details key flowchart components, making it easy to introduce new users to your process diagram.

Built on master layouts for both PowerPoint and Google Slides, this template offers fully editable shapes, colors, and text placeholders to adapt to your unique process requirements. Simply drag and drop to rearrange steps, resize swimlanes, or change marker styles. Replace labels with your own titles and adjust connector arrow positioning without disrupting the overall layout. High-resolution vector graphics ensure consistency on screens of any size, while intuitive slide structure accelerates collaboration and version control. Leverage intuitive guides on the canvas to lock in alignment and maintain consistent margins across slides.

Ideal for mapping product development workflows, compliance procedures, or customer journey diagrams, this template streamlines documentation and presentation of multi-team processes. Use it to communicate handoff points between departments, visualize approval gates, or train new employees on standard operating procedures. With a separate component slide for easy reference, you can customize symbol definitions, add new shapes, or repurpose lanes for strategic planning tasks.
