Why Visio? A diagram says more than 1000 words
The proof is as follows: Let ACB be a right-angled triangle with right angle CAB. On each of the sides BC, AB, and CA, squares are drawn, CBDE,
BAGF, and ACIH, in that order. From A, draw a line parallel to BD and CE. It will perpendicularly
intersect BC and DE at K and L, respectively. Join CF and AD, to form the triangles BCF and BDA. Angles CAB and BAG are both right angles; therefore C, A, and G
are collinear. Similarly for B, A, and H. Angles CBD and FBA are both right angles; therefore angle ABD equals
angle FBC, since both are the sum of a right angle and angle ABC. Since AB and BD are equal to FB and BC, respectively, triangle ABD
must be congruent to triangle FBC. Since A is collinear with K and L, rectangle BDLK must be twice in area
to triangle ABD. Since C is collinear with A and G, square BAGF must be twice in area to
triangle FBC. Therefore rectangle BDLK must have the same area as square BAGF =
AB2. Similarly, it can be shown that rectangle CKLE must have the same
area as square ACIH = AC2. Adding these two results, AB2 + AC2 = BD × BK + KL × KC Since BD = KL, BD* BK + KL × KC = BD(BK + KC) = BD × BC Therefore AB2 + AC2 = BC2, since CBDE is a square.

Before you open Visio
Define who is the target audience for your diagram. developers, project manager, the customer, outsiders, …
Always try to make diagrams that as many people as possible understand!
Start with a sketch on whiteboard (or paper)Is quick and easy, and allows you to wipe parts, change, brainstorm.
Make a picture of the whiteboard (use your mobile phone).

Activity Diagram
For any logical sequence of some complexityShould exist BEFORE implementation starts
Keep it simpleGive brief information about what happens “connect to web service”, “write to database”, “validate user input”, …
Don’t talk about classes, method names, Nhibernate, … Be specific
No: “user gives input” > “data is saved”Yes: “user enters his personal information” > “data is saved to database”

General guidelines
Include documentation in ALL time estimates/proposalsShow completed documentation to the customer!
Do not start development of any complex logic without an activity diagram
Use it as communication between all parties!Do not deploy on production servers without documentation
Test your documentation when deploying on staging!Do not “finish” a project without proper documentation
Write the docs during the work, not after!Store on SharePoint Intranet
