Hi Ansible community,  
What tools do you use to make design diagrams for Ansible workflows? I am working on a complex automation task. I will be creating a job template on AAP calling the playbook which calls several roles and handlers. I have Microsoft Visio diagram indicating different tasks of the playbook. Is there any other tool to sketch out all the steps in the complex workflow?

Thank you for your help.
