Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion. I have a project to produce some new queries ( reports that won't be run from any system ) but to accomodate that we need to make a bunch of changes to a few systems. I would like to hold a scope meeting and visually display this using a context diagram. However , I'm not sure if this can be summed up in a single context diagram since I'm not changing just 1 system. Would I need a diagram for each system that is being changed and the external entities that are interacting with the system ? Any recommendations would be great.
CJ,
Its difficult to draw a context (level 0) diagram without starting with a level 1 diagram first. And drawing level 1, will allow (boxes/processes) for each system. Perhaps you could use the level 1 for your scope discussion as it will clearly show external entities and the relationship to systems. All the best!
Warm regards,
K
One other comment to add to K's. Don't get too hung up on fitting into whatever definition of a context diagram that you have. Draw what you need to draw to get your argument across. If you need to break diagram rules, break them.
