What an ETL process flow diagram is.
An ETL process flow diagram shows how data is extracted from one or more sources, transformed into a usable form and loaded into a destination. It can also show validation, rejection and retry paths that protect data quality.
The diagram makes the handoffs visible: what arrives, how it changes, what is checked and where the result goes. That gives engineers and analysts a common reference for operating or improving the pipeline.

Common questions
What is an ETL process flow diagram?
It is a visual map of Extract, Transform and Load stages. It shows how data moves from source systems through processing to a warehouse, application or other destination.
What should I include in an ETL flow diagram?
Include source systems, ingestion or extraction, transformations, quality checks, error handling, destinations and any important schedules or ownership boundaries.
How do I create an ETL process flow diagram?
Start with the source and target, list every material transformation in between, then add decision paths for validation failures, retries and rejected records.
Why document an ETL flow?
A shared flow helps teams troubleshoot a broken run, explain data provenance, spot unnecessary handoffs and safely plan changes to the pipeline.
