Workshop Description
Perhaps you’ve dabbled with Visio; perhaps you’ve never used it before. Either way, this class will teach you the essentials of Visio so you can create useful business diagrams as soon as you leave the classroom. You will learn about the templates, stencils, and masters that give you a jumpstart on creating flowcharts, swimlane diagrams, organization charts, and other diagram types. You’ll also learn how to create your own shapes in order to build a diagram from scratch.
In addition to learning how to use Visio, you’ll learn when to use it – and when not to. After all, you can create diagrams in PowerPoint and even in Excel, so it’s important to be able to identify the best tool for any given task.
Spend a half-day learning valuable tips and tricks from the guy who wrote the book about Visio.
