The information carrier diagram is an optional component for project management with ARIS Architect. It belongs to the requirements definition of the data view and is used to record incoming and outgoing data, such as documents, logs, or ARIS models.

ARIS models can be assigned to a cluster in a PPC (project process chain, see requirements definition of the process view). This way, a preliminary specification of the cluster data can be realized. The required documents (for example, word processing files) can be displayed explicitly and accessed from within ARIS Architect via the Link 1 to Link 4 attributes.
