I have written in a manual:

This Flowchart describes the work process on the travel task. The chart shows the sequence of steps and participants involved.


Should I put "the" before the word "participants"?
Why?

Thanks,

Alex.

Yes, you should, unless you mean, the sequence of participants.

I might add, to me, " the work process on the travel task" sounds a little obscure.

Perhaps it is arcane language that computer programmers use?

[shvetsov2005]

Ah.. yes.

It should be "... of the travel task".

Thanks.
