Why do people use dataflow diagrams?

Answer by  canadabee (932)

Dataflow diagrams help people organize information as they disseminate it to others. This is particularly useful for team leaders who are explaining a complex problem to a large group of people. The leader can put a dataflow diagram on a slide and easily communicate each person's role in completing the project.
