How to Create an IDEF0 Diagram for an Application Development

The IDEF methodology was originally used in manufacturing and systems engineering. IDEF0 methods are intended to model the functions of a process, creating a graphical model that displays: what controls the function, who makes it, what resources are used and how it is related to other functions. Soon the IDEF methods have been adapted for wider use and for software development using Agile methodology. In software development process the IDEF0 tool is used to model the decisions, actions, and activities of a software system. It contains the necessary notations to support software development. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is powerful and easy to use IDEF0 diagramming software.
