Visualize and analyze a process or workflow
With this diagram you can visually examine the logical flow of a process or system in chronological order. This allows you to visualize the logical progression of events and examine the interactions of every step to either improve your process or validate your existing logic.
A sequence diagram is a type of UML diagram that illustrates how objects interact in a particular scenario of a business or technology process. This diagram helps visualize the order of events and the flow of control from one object to another. Sequence diagrams are widely used by software developers, project managers, and system engineers to design and understand the functionalities of a system.
Using Mural’s sequence diagram maker is a straightforward process that enhances your team's collaboration and efficiency. Here’s how you can start:
Imagine a scenario where a visitor is trying to log into a system.
The sequence diagram would illustrate objects like “User,” “Login Button,” and “Authentication System,” and show messages exchanged like “Enter Credentials,” “Validate User,” and “Access Granted.”
Each interaction is mapped with arrows to indicate the sequence of steps.
Sequence diagrams can vary based on their level of complexity and the specific processes they document. Common types include:
