Executive summary

A data flow diagram shows how data moves between processes, data stores and external entities, exposing data dependencies and controls. This is the Data Flow Diagram (DFD) from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for data flow diagram, and it walks through everything from the data flow diagram and its four elements to from diagram to data governance operating model. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
