Data flow diagrams

Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) are visual tools that show how information moves within a system. They use simple symbols to represent sources, destinations, storage points, and processes that handle data. DFDs help clarify how data is received, processed, stored, and shared without showing detailed technical steps. By illustrating these pathways, they enable teams to understand and analyze system functions, identify inefficiencies, and plan improvements more effectively. They are valuable for communicating complex system interactions in an easily understandable way.
