Refine Do any other activity diagrams have
5. List or draw out a series of steps
activities to be added? Activity Diagram
6. Look for exceptions or rules
Verify Is everything correct?
7. Use the symbols

System Sequence Diagram
1. Define who will initiate the interaction. Draw
an actor on the diagram to specify who kick
starts the interaction within a system
2. Draw the first message to a sub-system.
Specify the message sent from the actor who
begins the interaction to the first point of
contact in the system.
Graphical representations of workflows of
stepwise activities and actions with support for
choice, iteration and concurrency. Show the
overall flow of control. UML Diagram.

Determine candidate, primary and alternate
key attributes

Identify and model classes—Which classes do Review model with users
we need? Create tables
Identify and model associations—How are the
Normalise structure
classes connected?
Use case diagram elements Check support user interactions
Define attributes—What do we want to know
about the objects? Check Business Rules
Review with users
