| So, recently I needed to create a process flowchart for a reservation system built on top of SharePoint. Being the perfectionist that I am, I really wanted to find some Visio stencils or shapes that represented the SharePoint objects I was referring to in my flowchart. There was nothing in Visio 2007 that came close and I really didn’t want to create anything myself, so I started digging. I came across quite a few downloads on the Microsoft site that had some neat shapes I could use, but for the SharePoint entities like, Calendars, Lists, Workflows, etc. I was still out of luck. Then I came across Maxime Bombardier’s Visio 2007 stencil and voila! So, if you ever need to create something similar, check this out: Visio Stencils from Maxime Visio Stencils for SharePoint 2007 sites and servers 
There are a few other great posts out there, like this one from Dave Hunter that lists some other resources, including the one above: Visio Shapes for SharePoint Of course, when Visio 2010 becomes available you can look forward to built in templates for building SharePoint 2010 Workflows, which sounds very cool. Check out this blog post to see some of the screenshots of the process. There are lots of really neat stencils to represent workflow actions, terminators, conditions, etc. All the more reason to upgrade I guess…
