Process

Identify and list the internal work flows, business rules or logic of the system-to-be. Use the open minded model described earlier.

Describe all work flows, business rules or logic of the system in the necessary number of activity diagrams.

Why

The architecture block diagrams shows a static view of the system. The activity diagrams show the behaviour of the system.

As vital as the static block diagram the behaviour of the system is. No system does not have some kind of behaviour.

With the behavioural diagrams the developer gains knowledge of how the system-to-be shall behave while in operation.
