The context diagram is expected to have:
• Relevant system name
• At least 4 External Entities
• Input and output data flows (minimum 6)
• Followed proper rules
c. Level 0 DFD (Data Flow Diagram) and its short description

• External entities
• Relevant Data stores (minimum 2 data stores)
• Relevant input & output data flows
• Followed proper rules
Question 3. Based on one of the manual business processes identified in Task 1,
