  • They are primarily used in the systems development process
  • A data flow diagram is often the diagram of choice for modern entities

  • List potential external entities (people, places). Look for entities that
    • Give data to the system without explaining the process that creates that data
    • Take data from the system without explaining what it does with that data
  • Establish what flows are sent to and from the system from external entities
