Because there are only 2 steps, you file them concurrently and then you go to interview.

 

K1 you have to deal with USCIS, NVC, Embassies/ Consulates.

I'm trying to find a decent flow chart that has the steps for the I-130/I-485 process, and general wait times between each step.  

 

Other than the guide: 

There isn't a flow chart per se.   You can use the K1 for the AOS guide.   The I-130 gets processed when it gets processed.  The path you have chosen can take between one and two years.  However getting the EAD usually takes less than 6 months (precpvid).  The green card can not be issued until the I-130 is adjudicated.
