Which of the following best describes a flowchart's role?

• A. A budget planning tool.
• B. A diagram that defines the sequence of actions in interactive media products.
• C. A textual script.
• D. A list of equipment.

Answer: (B)

Flowcharts map the sequence of actions and decisions that make up how a user interacts with an interactive media product. They’re diagrams that show each step in order and where choices branch the flow, making the overall user journey clear before production begins. This helps you plan navigation, inputs, and outcomes so the product behaves as intended. For example, a login flow starts with entering credentials, then a decision point checks them; if correct you move to the home screen, if not you’re prompted to try again. That focus on the order of actions and branching paths is exactly what a flowchart communicates. It isn’t about budgeting, a textual script, or a list of equipment.
