Flow chart for a CMM program

Hi, I am new to CMM programming and want to learn. I have been programming many traditional computer languages for over 10 years. My question is - is there a way to represent a CMM program (especially a complex one) in a more user-friendly format that uses blocks of English sentences to represent the program's flow, similar to a program flowchart. My thoughts are - this helps to standardize and makes programs consistent within the company (especially if there are multiple programmers), helps as a training document to a newbie like me and also helps to understand a complex program quickly instead of getting into the PCDMIS code details. Thoughts?
