(12:30 PM – 1:30 PM Atlantic Daylight Time, GMT - 3 hours)

Get ready for the next session of our lunch-and-learn series! Here's an opportunity to take a break from your workday to enhance your BA skillset and learn from fellow BAs. In our next Technique Boutique session, hosted by the IIBA Palmetto, DC Metro, Nova Scotia, and Ottawa-Outaouais Chapters, we will explore data flow diagrams.

As we navigate the creation of data flow diagrams, their true power emerges in their ability to kindle explorations beyond the mere diagrammatic scope. Through engaging with these diagrams, new avenues of understanding open up – the nature of the data itself unravels, its functional role gains clarity, and the non-functional prerequisites tied to its conveyance come to the forefront. While the diagrams visually capture the dynamic flow of data, they equally serve as a nexus for comprehending the periphery of data intricacies – encompassing diverse facets such as data typologies, metamorphic transitions, intricate business rules, and an array of indispensable requirements.
 
Join us as Brian Megilligan takes an in-depth look at data flow diagrams and shares his tips for using this technique.
