Interaction Overview Diagram
Purpose: The purpose of the Interaction Overview Diagram is to visualize a sequence of activities and deconstruct a complex scenario that would otherwise require multiple ‘if-then-else paths’ to be illustrated as a single sequence diagram.
Core concerns: The Interaction Overview Diagram is a Behavioral UML model. The template enables you to model Call Behavior Actions, Decision Nodes, Merge Nodes, Initial Nodes, Activity Final Nodes, Fork Nodes, Join Nodes, Duration Constraints, and Annotations. These elements can then be connected by Control Flows.
Below, you can see an example of an Interaction Overview Diagram for a sd System Authentication:
Relation to other templates: The Interaction Overview Diagram is part of the UML templates QualiWare supports along with the Activity Diagram, Communication Diagram, Deployment Diagram, Class Diagram, Composite Structure Diagram, State Diagram, Package Diagram, Component Diagram, Sequence Diagram, Use case diagram, Timing Diagram, Composite structure Diagram

Performance Diagram
Purpose: The purpose of the Performance Diagram is to provide a view over an organization’s performance in reaching their strategic goals.
Core concerns: The Performance Diagram enables you to model Key Performance Indicators – which can be related to strategic goals, derivative Performance Indicators and Derivation Rules. You can create a Performance Diagram as a decomposition of a Key Performance Indicator and model a hierarchy of performance diagrams. The model below shows an overview of an organizations Key Performance Indicators and their status:
In the following model the Key Performance Indicator has been enriched with derivative performance indicators explaining in more details the status of the performance and how it is measured:
The overview of the Key Performance Indicators can also be presented with a simplistic view, highlighting their status using color coded icons:
Relation to other templates: The Performance Diagram is a Strategic template and can be decomposed from Key Performance indicators contained in, for example, a Balanced Scorecard Diagram or Dashboard.
Properties and metadata: The Performance Diagram can for example retain the following information:
- A description of the diagram
- Link to the owner of the diagram
- Link to the one responsible for the diagram
- Audits (auto generated information regarding its current state and access rights)
- Associated documents, diagrams and other objects
- Inherent Risk detailing risk considerations
- Governance information detailing information about the published diagram and who has been involved in the approval of the diagram
The above picture shows the properties dialogue window for the Performance Diagram where you can view and edit the diagram’s properties in QualiWare Lifecycle Manager.
Production Site
Purpose: The purpose of the Production Site template is to provide a model over the content and flow of a production site.
Core Concerns: The Production Site template enables you to model Production Lines, Work Centers, Equipment, Inventory and Fixed Installations. These elements can then be connected by Logistical Flows, Wires or Transport Systems. Below, you can see an example of a ‘Job Shop’ Production Site:
The Production Site can in its property window have its production process environment classified as being either a:
- “Job Shop” which is characterized by the organization of similar equipment by function such as drilling, welding, painting and assembly. As jobs flow from work center to work center a different type of operations is performed in each center.
- “Continuous Flow” which is characterized by an uninterrupted flow in the production such as processing of fluids, wastes, powders and basic metals., e.g. and oil refinery.
- “Dedicated Repetitive Flow” which is characterized by production of discrete parts in a production facility dedicated to only one product.
- “Batch Flow” which is characterized as a flow shop design producing more than one product. Due to long setup time production is run in large batches, e.g. a brewery where production line needs to be cleaned up between each batch to avoid product contamination from previous product.
- “Fixed Site” which is characterized by transportation of materials, tools and personnel to a fixed location where the product will be built, e.g. shipbuilding, construction and assembly of item that are difficult to move.
Relation to other templates: The Production Site template offers an additional perspective to the Product Architecture, Product Canvas, and Product Roadmap templates. Together, these templates illustrate the different aspects of the production process.
Properties and metadata: The Production Site Diagram can for example retain the following information:
- A description of the diagram
- Link to the owner of the diagram
- Link to the one responsible for the diagram
- Audits (auto generated information regarding its current state and access rights)
- Associated documents, diagrams and other objects
- Inherent Risk detailing risk considerations
- Governance information detailing information about the published diagram and who has been involved in the approval of the diagram
