Benefits of Completing a Solution Diagram:

Solution Diagrams allow full visibility of the overall processes and architectures running on your BTP solutions.  It gives you total transparency of your design.  It is a way to document the paths your users are following through your product and can be a reference guide to explain how a design should function at GoLive & also, once fully implemented and embedded.  AI traceability and transparency are becoming requirements and Solution Diagrams provide a visual, simple solution to ensure compliance while facilitating a clearer understanding of the overall design by the Team.

Still to Come?:

In the future, we can expect a collaboration between SAP and draw.io to facilitate Open Source Solution Diagram icons using draw.io as the tool of choice for visualization.
