How essential is a 'Scope Diagram' in the Scope Document?

Hi all, I have happened to see some of the scope documents which do have a scope diagram, drawn with set of associated departments are domains with the main domain/dept in scope. In my case I don't have any such associations to my department in scope. Some documents also have a scope diagram and doesn't even have one! So, how important or essential is the scope diagram towards the ISO 27001 implementation? TIA

From my point view this diagram is not relevant for ISO 27001 (it is not mandatory), although obviously you need to identify all departments/domains that are included in the scope of you ISMS, and if you include this information in a diagram, for some people (for example auditors) can be easy to see the hierarchy.
