A context diagram stands as a cornerstone in system analysis, offering a bird’s-eye view of a system’s landscape. It’s a high-level representation that encapsulates the system’s scope, illustrating how it interacts with external entities—users, systems, and data flows. Unlike other system representation tools that delve into granular details, the context diagram keeps it simple; it’s the 30,000-foot overview that provides clarity without overwhelming stakeholders with complexity. This guide will take you through everything you need to know about a context diagram and how you can create one.
