Definition“graphical tool that depicts the sequence of
processes and functions contained within a specified system boundary and the flow of data through that system” (Marakas, 2006, p. 117)
Data flow diagrams – shows the flow of data through a system.
DFDs are logical models because they show what is done rather than how it is done (physical model).
