Gliffy Diagrams

Gliffy Diagrams is the first HTML5 cloud-based application designed to make it easy to create content and embed it into posts, pages, or any third-party apps or services. It also provides a fast way to sketch out visual elements like flowcharts, network diagrams, and other visuals that aid in understanding or communication. While their diagramming tool is quite advanced already, when combined with a robust and integrated project planning software like Vabro, it offers an unparalleled level of collaboration.

 

Understanding Gliffy Diagrams

Gliffy: Gliffy is an online diagram-building tool that can be used as a flowchart maker, network diagram software, or wireframe creation tool, among other uses. It simplifies the process for even those without graphic design skills with its drag-and-drop interface for creating intricate visuals. A visual workflow of processes and systems can be achieved with Gliffy, as it offers smart templates, shapes, and customization options for users.
