FFBDs are one of the classic business process modeling methodologies, along with flow charts, data flow diagrams, control flow diagrams, Gantt charts, PERT diagrams, and IDEF.

There are different notations to draw data flow diagrams ( Yourdon & Coad and Sarson ), defining different visual representations for processes, data stores, data flow, and external entities.

They are one of the classic business process modeling methodologies, along with flow charts, data flow diagrams, functional flow block diagram, Gantt charts, PERT diagrams, and IDEF.

Data flow diagrams can be used to provide the end user with a physical idea of where the data they input ultimately has an effect upon the structure of the whole system from order to dispatch to report.

Data flow diagrams can be used to provide the end user with a physical idea of where the data they input ultimately has an effect upon the structure of the whole system from order to dispatch to recook.

In particular, dependency links in a decision model represent cause-and-effect ( as in a causal loop diagram ), data flow ( as in a data flow diagram ), or other relationships.
37.
The main concept in this modeling perspective is the process, this could be a function, transformation, activity, action, task etc . A well-known example of a modeling language employing this perspective is data flow diagrams.

For example, Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method ( SSADM ), picking the Structure Chart ( SC ) for structure description and the Data Flow Diagram ( DFD ) for behavior description, is categorized into the non-architectural approach.
39.
Data flow diagrams are one of the three essential perspectives of the structured-systems analysis and design method SSADM . The sponsor of a project and the end users will need to be briefed and consulted throughout all stages of a system's evolution.

In the course of developing a set of " levelled " data flow diagrams the analyst / designer is forced to address how the system may be decomposed into component sub-systems, and to identify the transaction data in the data model.
