« Je trouve qu’utiliser un diagramme pour montrer comment le service Okta Identity Cloud fonctionnerait dans un cas d’utilisation particulier est bien plus efficace qu’une explication téléphonique, quand on s’adresse à différentes personnes. Les mots sont très pauvres et ouvrent la porte à bien trop d’interprétations ».

Dan Marma — Ingénieur des systèmes at Okta

Les fonctionnalités de collaboration en ligne a considérablement réduit le temps que les élèves consacrent au casse-tête logistique que sont les versions et la distribution de leurs diagrammes à leur équipe. Personne n’a signalé avoir perdu de temps en ayant travaillé sur la mauvaise version d’un diagramme, un problème qui se posait régulièrement dans le passé.

Le haut degré de navigabilité du document me permet d’ajouter autant de détails que nécessaire et de faire évoluer n’importe quel diagramme à mesure que les systèmes gagnent en complexité.
