IIBA Exam CBDA Topic 1 Question 12 Discussion
Topic #: 1
A future state data model is created to depict how information will be structured in a proposed solution but the analyst is also interested in modeling how and when data is transformed throughout various processes across the organization. In which model would the analyst find this information?
A data flow diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of how data flows and transforms through a system or process. A DFD shows the sources and destinations of data, the data inputs and outputs, the data transformations and logic, and the data stores and flows. A DFD can help the analyst model how and when data is transformed throughout various processes across the organization, as well as identify potential data quality issues, bottlenecks, and redundancies. A DFD can also complement a future state data model by showing the relationships and dependencies among the data entities and attributes.Reference:
