Yaca is a business process diagramming framework specifically designed to enhance the modelling of collaborative processes. Such processes are extremelly common in R&D teams, for initiating a study or a project, for gathering needs and translating them into product requirements, for generating concepts, then for selecting and testing them, for designing and engineering the solution, and so on and so forth.
Practicaly, Yaca process diagrams can be created with
YacaLite
.
Please note that this web application works under Chrome only.
