PMBok Data Flow Diagram Legend

 


Dear Sirs,


Good day


In PMBOK page 69, there is Figure III-1 which explains the Data Flow Diagram Legend. however


They did not introduce enough explanation for that legend. Please can anyone help me to understand this legend?


Thanks and best regards


Yasser


 

 Hi, 

So the only two boxes not explained are those in the grey area, right. ? 

The grey area is the knowledge area under consideration and the two boxes are processes within the knowledge area. The darker grey box of the two represents the current process under discussion. The non-greyed box represents process within the knowledge area which is not under discussion but its input or output is related to the grey box. 

Best way to understand is to look a couple of process in any one knowledge area. Go to develop project charter process to understand the legend.
