Making a Data Flow Diagram

by | Apr 13, 2025 | College class, Information Technology | 0 comments

This college project in Advanced Information Technology that I have completed was to create a context diagram, which the IT industry calls Data Flow Diagram. We use a program named Visio to construct a logical model of how a system should work. We use the Gane and Sarson symbol set for the shapes. The shapes in this document are processes and entities.

“Kitchen Gadgets sells a line of high-quality kitchen utensils and gadgets. When customers place orders on the company’s website or through electronic data interchange (EDI), the system checks to see if the items are in stock, issues a status message to the customer, and generates a shipping order to the warehouse, which fills the order. When the order is shipped, the customer is billed. The system also produces various reports.”(SNHU)
