(117) Object Oriented Design by Prototype Methodology (OODPM) integrates two known technologies: the object approach and the prototype concept. Object oriented methodology is used for internal system design, and prototype methodology is used for external system design. OODPM has certain benefits: in the planning and development phase, it reduces misunderstandings between the planner, the developer, and the user; some of the planning components can be used in the development process; software can be re-used, etc. The objective of this article is to describe how OODPM delineates enterprise needs, focussing on a new diagram that depicts the system in the way that the user perceives it in action
