Assess diagrams

The entire team reviews the diagrams and definitions and records improvements.

Cross-check the initial entity relationship diagram against the initial process decomposition diagrams -- the nouns in the process names may reveal further entity types, subtypes, or synonyms.

Cross-check the process diagrams against the entity relationship diagram. This may suggest further, essential processes that can be added to the process diagrams. For each entity type, consider:

* How it is conceived (PLAN, SCHEDULE)

* How it comes into being (MAKE, PURCHASE)

* How it changes (REPAIR, PROMOTE)

* How it is disposed of (CANCEL, SELL, DISMANTLE)

* How it is monitored (MONITOR, CONTROL)
