- The requirements that are being satisfied by the configured application
- An ER diagram or text equivalent of the entity relationships
- The names and descriptions of the business objects and business components required for your application, and how they relate to one another
- Screen flow diagrams and a list of fields to be displayed on each applet
- A description of your development environment and process, for example:
- The complete step-by-step procedures your development and test team will need to follow to complete the application

- Set up your application development environment—for example:

- Using the tools available to you in the Siebel application environment (for example, Siebel Assignment Manager and Siebel Business Process Designer), implement the appropriate assignment and workflow rules.
- Extend the functionality of your application as needed through scripting using Siebel VB or Siebel eScript.
- Localize your application if the user interface is to be displayed in two or more languages.

- Iterate through the development steps until your design has been fully implemented and your application is running smoothly and meets your performance objectives.
