Data flow diagram (DFD) is a popular tool for representing the flow of data of a system. A DFD is formed with process, external entity, data store and data flow (i.e. the connector).
Produce a report of your DFD and share it with your teammates or customer. Develop or refine the system base on the data specification written in the report.
While DFD can be used for visualizing data flow inside a system, business process diagram (BPD) can be used for visualizing external process flow between user and system. By drawing both DFD and BPD, you can link them up to produce a strong understanding on how user can interact with the system and what will be the data produced and obtained throughout the interaction.
