Chapter 5: Process

Modeling
OBJECTIVES

• Explain the rules and style guidelines for data flow diagrams.

• Describe the process used to create data flow diagrams.

• Create data flow diagrams.


Introduction

A process model is a graphical way of representing how a business


system should operate.

It illustrates the processes or activities that are performed and how data
move among them.

A process model can be used to document the current system (i.e., as‐is
system) or the new system being developed (i.e., to‐be system), whether
computerized or not.
Data flow diagramming (DFD)

DFD is a technique that diagrams the business processes and the


data that pass among them.

Although the name DFD implies a focus on data, this is not the case.
The focus is mainly on the processes or activities that are performed.

In this chapter, we focus on logical process models, which are


models that describe processes, without suggesting how they are
conducted.
