2. Three Steps in developing your OV-6b Step 1 - Identify the Product's Timescale
Decide on the timescale that this product is expected to represent (as-is, to-be, transitional)
Multiple timescales are often needed for each product; a separate OV-6b should be produced for each timescale that is needed

3. Step 2 - Reference Activity Model (OV-5)
Identify the relevant components from your OV-5. These components comprise a "pick list" of candidates for consideration in the production of your OV-6b. Identify:
Applicable events
Applicable business processes or work flows
State transitions

4. Step 3 – Illustrate State Transitions
Using the template provided:
Graphically depict system states as rounded boxes
Graphically depict transitions (from one state to another) as directional lines
Annotate:
Transition Lines
Event Names
Action Names
Result Names

5. A template has been provided, following this slide
Activities can be nested, concurrent or synchronised, as required
Don’t forget to update your Integrated Dictionary (CV-2) with any new terms or abbreviations introduced in the OV-6b
Delete the instruction slides when OV-6b completed
