Data flow diagrams

The insurance game is, among other things, a conduit for massive amounts of raw information. Data flow diagrams are one great way to tame, organize, and share this information with those who need to stay in the know.

Simply put, a data flow diagram (DFD) is a way to map the flow of information for any system or process. Defined symbols and short text labels are combined to show inputs, outputs, and storage points of data as well as the routes between each destination.

Data flowcharts can be of the simple hand-drawn-on-a-napkin variety, or they can be in-depth, multi-level DFDs that progressively tunnel into the depths of how data is handled. Whether analyzing an existing system or modeling a new one, a DFD can visually express things that defy simple verbal explanations. DFDs have remained popular for years because they work well for both technical and non-technical audiences.
