In this episode of Business Analysis Simplified, we explore Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs), a key technique in the Requirements Analysis and Design Definition knowledge area. DFDs help visualize how information moves through a system, making it easier to identify dependencies, optimize workflows, and eliminate inefficiencies.

Join Michael and Emily as they revisit the school playground upgradation project, where the kids use a data flow diagram to map out how fundraising, equipment procurement, stakeholder approvals, and construction updates all connect. Learn how business analysts use DFDs to streamline processes, identify bottlenecks, and improve decision-making. Whether you're optimizing a business workflow or planning a project, this episode will show you how data flow diagrams bring structure and clarity to any initiative.
