Map out how messages flow between people, teams, or systems over time. This template shows who talks to whom, when, and in what order — making complex interactions easy to follow. Use it to document communication protocols, plan integrations, clarify workflows, or help new team members understand how different groups coordinate.

How to create a Team Communication Sequence Diagram

To create a team communication sequence diagram, follow these steps:

01.
Identify participants
List all the people, teams, or systems involved in the interaction.
02.
Group related actors
Use boxes to organize participants into logical groups (departments, teams, or systems).
03.
Define the scenario
Determine what specific interaction or workflow you're documenting.
04.
Create lifelines
Draw vertical lines for each participant to represent their presence throughout the sequence.
05.
Map messages
Add arrows between lifelines to show who communicates with whom.
06.
Sequence chronologically
Arrange messages from top to bottom in the order they occur.
07.
Add message labels
Clearly describe what each communication contains or represents.
08.
Review & validate
Walk through the sequence with stakeholders to ensure it accurately reflects the real interaction.
