Showing off your modules and processes (graphically)

Question

One of our programmers came today with an interesting question: How can we show graphically of system ruining with a flow chart or something like that.

The solution we are looking for has to be pretty simple. We intend to use this "animated flow chart" to show how our system is supposed to work to our non-tech staff. We need their feedback, but we don't want to overload them with technicalities.

Anyone knows a program that may help us?

PS: I asked the programmer if the Visual Basic Solution wasn't enough and his answer was: "It's way too much complicated"

Answer 1

How about a PowerPoint presentation?

Answer 2

I use data and control flow diagrams.

Data flow shows the source and destination of data based on functionality. Control flows show how the user progresses through the functionality.

For example: a control flow through a web site would show the user hitting the login page then the main page. The data flow shows the data entered by the user, hitting the db for user login and then the db providing the data for the main page.

Answer 3

If the solution is Java you could try Jeloit. The video on their site pretty cool.
