Sequence diagrams are visual tools that illustrate the order of actions in various processes, commonly found in instruction manuals, cookery books, model kits, and dress-making patterns. They help to communicate complex information in a clear and organized manner. To create an effective sequence diagram, it's essential to determine the level of detail, the number of steps involved, and ensure the stages are presented in the correct sequence. Simplicity and clarity are key, using straightforward language or visuals for easy comprehension.
