    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.
