Context Diagram

Context diagrams provide a high-level system boundary view, showing how a system interacts with external actors, platforms, or dependencies.


They are useful for explaining system scope, integrations, and external touchpoints without exposing internal complexity.


Typical usage:

  • Define system boundaries
  • Show external actors and integrations
  • Illustrate inbound and outbound data flows
