What program do you use to build a concept map?

I know that best practices call for building a concept map before writing the Power Automate Flows. What program do you use to do this?

@Susan Fioribello - I use Visio (online version), it's apart of Office 365.

@Susan Fioribello
maybe different terminology, but we call it “flow chart”.

Visio if you have license for it is best, but if cost is prohibitive, then a simple “bullet” approach is ok too.

I.e.

1. get list of gift
2. loop through every gift
   1. condition if gift is greater than $1000
   2. if yes
      1. get fundraiser of constituent
      2. send email to notify the fundraiser or a default email address for no fundraiser
   3. if no
      1. does nothing

again, not the best, but helps you lay out your plan on the flow too
