Visio 2024 Professional: diagrams, process models and technical plans on Windows

Microsoft Visio 2024 Professional is a standalone Windows application for flowcharts, organisation charts, network diagrams, floor plans and timelines. In addition, there are templates for the BPMN 2.0 and UML 2.5 standards, database models and the linking of shapes to data. Visio is not part of the Office suites but is installed separately. The application is suitable for IT departments, process and quality management, software development as well as planning and engineering offices that need to present workflows and structures in a comprehensible way.

Templates, shapes and editing

Visio works with ready-made templates and shapes that are dragged onto the drawing page and connected to each other. Shapes can be replaced later without losing the layout and connections. This allows a rough flowchart to be developed step by step into a detailed process plan. According to Microsoft, Visio 2024 includes additional shapes, stencils and templates. On devices with a touchscreen, you can draw and annotate directly with your finger or a pen.

Process models, software and database diagrams

With the templates for BPMN 2.0, business processes are modelled according to the widely used notation standard, for example an approval process for orders with responsibilities and decision points. UML 2.5 diagrams are available for software development. Visio can check these diagrams for compliance with the respective standard, so that formal errors are noticed before they are passed on. With the integrated database model diagrams, tables and their relationships can be displayed, for example as documentation of an existing database.

Data, CAD drawings and comments

Shapes can be linked to live data from internal and external sources. A network diagram can thus display values from a device list, and organisation charts can be generated directly from a data source instead of drawing each position individually. Technical drawings in the AutoCAD DWG format can be imported and used as a basis, for example for room or facility plans. Using comments in Visio, colleagues give feedback directly on the diagram.
