Each diagram is highly customizable.  You can set exactly how it will look.  Once generated, you can modify the text, colors, and size.  The Waterfall Chart is also integrated with Microsoft Excel, so you can easily modify the values in the chart.

Thus far, Flevy Tools has received over 3,000 downloads.  We have received feedback from consultants at leading global firms, including Accenture and Capgemini Consulting, that Flevy Tools is more powerful than the similar tools they have built in house.

Here are the available diagram types:

  • Waterfall Chart
  • Booz Ball/Harvey Ball Diagram
  • Gantt Chart
  • Linear Approach/Chevron Diagram
  • Circular Approach/Flow Diagram
  • Step Box Diagram
  • Pyramid Diagram
  • Relationship Diagram
  • Segment Diagram
  • Rating Diagram
