One of my clients is a database shop. They are in the habit of handing me
ERD diagrams (to show the relationship of the tables) and lists of field
names inside the tables. I still end up doing a fair bit of interviewing to
work out the output details, but the ERD diagrams do make a useful starting
point for the conversation. From those, I can create the schemas.

With my other clients, they tend to tell me what they want to appear in
their documents (my work is mostly document-centric), and then I ask them
where I can find that info. You can tell that I evolved my business out of
technical writing, as interviewing folks to get the information I need is
second nature to me. It's hard to do anything without a good set of
requirements (the input and output that other folks in this thread have
mentioned), so that's where I start.

I would be very interested in knowing what other folks are using, too -
great topic!

What design documents have you found to be the most useful for XSLT?


Flow charting and sequence diagrams don't seem to me to be very
practical...

Thanks in advance!
