Abstract
Models provide a way to describe systems as they are now and how we want to change them. Formal methods reduce the probability of misunderstanding. Different types of model are needed at different parts of the project life cycle. Conceptual models differ in detail from implementation-specific models. The early stages use scope statements, storyboards and requirements specification. Examples are provided about Fred and his dog and colorectal cancer referral.
