Executive summary

A C4 Level-1 system context diagram shows the system, its users, and the external systems it interacts with, at the highest altitude. This is the System Context Diagram (C4 L1) from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for system context diagram, and it walks through everything from the system boundary and choosing the altitude to aligning stakeholders and guiding the architecture. 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.
