A project manager wants to visually represent the flow of tasks and decision points in a business process. Which tool should be used?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse a Gantt chart (which shows task timelines) with a flowchart (which shows task logic), leading them to select the Gantt chart when the question explicitly asks for the flow of tasks and decision points, not scheduling.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Flowchart
A flowchart is the correct tool because it is specifically designed to visually represent the sequence of tasks, decision points, and branching logic within a business process. Unlike other charts, flowcharts use standardized symbols (e.g., rectangles for processes, diamonds for decisions) to map out the flow of activities, making them ideal for process mapping and workflow analysis.
