TECHNIQUES

1. Review and edit as required the System Logic Narrative. This is the system's Descriptive Text as recorded on the main system resource in the IRM Repository. The narrative should describe the overall system, the types of information requirements implemented, and the business functions involved (user departments).

2. For each "object" (application logical FD) in the system, prepare Descriptive Text describing the purpose of the FD. This text is recorded on the FD in the IRM.

3. Establish explicit relationships between inputs, outputs, and files in the IRM. Use the "PRIDE" worksheets to document these relationships.

4. Review the remaining rough design of the system (procedures and programs) and update accordingly.

5. Prepare a Sub-System Concept Diagram for each sub-system.

6. Prepare Sub-System Logic Narrative for each sub-system in the system. The narrative should describe the:

   • The Business Purpose of the sub-system.

   • Steps in Execution (supports the Sub-System Concept Diagram).

   • Special processing rules.

   • Implementation considerations.

TOOLS

During this activity, use the following types of tools:

1. Documentation Aid to record notes and develop narratives in support of the design.

2. Graphics Aids to draw the free-form Sub-System Concept Diagram.

3. Repository to catalog and cross-reference resources.
