Default How can I build a cross-functional flow chart showing two swimlanes sharing the same process?

Hi everybody,


I have tried to find out how I can build the following with Microsoft Visio:

It is all about a cross-functional flow chart, with two swimlanes which share the same process (or share the same task). Now I do not know how I can represent it using Visio.

Example: the two swimlanes are professor and secretary share the same process "Open a course".

Does anybody know here? it would be nice if someone would contact me and explained how it must be displayed in a cross-functional flow chart. If possible with pictures.

Regards

If you Google "cross-functional flow chart" you will see a link to images and other sources of various flow charts that may help you. Visio, as you know, comes with the flow charting stencil to create your chart.

Additionally, this link may help: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...e-b88452c47a21.

Believe me, I already googled a lot wasting long hours without finding the answer to my question.
That's why I am here not to get an answer "just google" but tips from someone with experience doing this.

Stud3 what are you actually asking for here? If you just want to know how to design a business process then this has nothing to do with Visio... trust me Visio is self explanatory.

As for your cross functional process.. It's just two fricken lanes with the activities going between them. Please don't tell me you have wasted hours googling...because if you have, you seriously need to take a look at how you search for things.
"http://bptrends.com/images/advisor_0413.gif" This image I found in one quick search of BMPN designs and it shows a cross functional process and simply adds in external sources that are connected to the process. To get what you want just remove them.
