Hi Vinay, here is my basic approach:

It usually starts with

- paper and pencil
- whiteboard
- show/talk/brainstorm with available/local experts (ideally focus on understanding the "ideas/problems")
- take a walk, coffee break, music, shower.. whatever helps to be creative and get a good overview (no rules)

then continues with

- initial sketches in Editor, OpenOffice, Visio (what's available)... see next step why:
- show/talk/brainstorm with experts and stakeholders, design reviews with those who will later use it
- apply some of your processes to get something written down (ideally focus on good "alternatives")
- narrowing down... prepare to switch your brain from creative to productive mode (really hard!)

and ends with:

- finalise documentation (ideally focus on "solutions" and not on throw-away reports)
- apply processes and "get it done" to the quality needed, e.g. documentation in a special form, reviewed, approved
- present and explain to people using it (unpack your show master qualities)
- set up a follow-up meeting for feedback/improvements/retrospective (also see agile development)

Hope this helps Smile | :)

PS: With processes I mean best practices or development processes in your work area.
