Cross Functional flow chart in Microsoft Visio

This video explains how to create a cross functional flow chart in Microsoft Visio. The tutorial demonstrates how to add basic shapes from the stencil and connect the shapes manually to avoid swim lanes being dragged all over the place. The video covers how to use shape graphics and how to edit shape graphics. The shape graphic is triggered by data in the shape data box. The final section of the video explains how to define shape data.

Thank you - very clear and helpful for learning about cross functional flow chart creation and use. Added bonus of Shape Data insertion.

Thank you for this demonstration. Suppose you had a process that would involved the "Induction", "Admin", and "Production" lanes. How would you stretch/format the process shape to include all three lanes, but exclude the HR and Finance lanes?
