Designing the Procedure Logic

This chapter describes how to fully detail the procedure components of the outline system structure. Procedure logic design involves taking the outline system structure and fully detailing its procedure components.

The GUI, procedure interaction, and procedure logic are best designed in parallel. Procedure interaction and layouts may then be refined (often by prototyping). When the initial design is stable, detailed procedure logic can be completed, and the flows and layouts can be finalized.

Together, the procedure interaction, layout design, and logic yield a completed navigation diagram, fully detailed displays, and action diagrams that are the basis for generating a completed system.
