1. Context Diagrams

2. What are dataflow diagrams used for? Dataflow diagram  A graphical representation that depicts information flow and the transforms that are applied as data more from input to output Dataflow diagrams provide a mechanism for functional modeling as well as information flow modeling

3. What is a context diagram The context diagram is also called the “fundamental system model” It represents the entire software element as a single bubble with input and output data indicated by incoming and outgoing arrows, respectively

4. Parts of a context diagram Rectangle  Users or external systems Circle  The system you are designing Directional Arrows  The directional arrows are labeled with the data object that is being passed

5. Dataflow Example Visio  Flowchart  Data Flow Diagram (US Units)

6. In Visio

8. Project Plan Information

9. Project Plan as of today The project plan as of today should show a skeleton of the project. It will be changed throughout the course of the semester Should mainly show team structure and the main milestones that are set as of right now.  Schedule we have provided to you

10. Project Plan later on As more information is discovered about the system the project plan will change. Think of it in the spiral model way As you discover the modules you are developing they should be placed in the milestones area Tools you may need will be updated
