System Analysis and Design - Data Flow Diagram

This repository contains the deliverables for System Analysis and Design Assignment 1, focusing on creating and analyzing a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) for a system. These solutions are part of a university assignment focused on applying fundamental Systems Analysis and Design concepts.

Overview

The project involves the application of system analysis techniques to design a DFD that represents the processes, data stores, and data flows of a given system. The assignment also includes a comprehensive written report and diagram visualizations.

Objectives

• Demonstrate understanding of DFD concepts.
• Develop a clear and accurate DFD for the assigned system.
• Document the analysis process and findings in a report.

Tools Used

• Draw.io: For creating the DFD diagrams.
• Microsoft Word: For the written report.
• Visual Paradigm: For detailed diagram modeling.
