IDEF5

IDEF5 is a structured method used to model and understand complex systems, especially their concepts and relationships. It helps organizations organize knowledge about a system’s components, how they relate, and how they evolve over time. Think of it as creating a detailed map that shows the key ideas, their connections, and the reasoning behind them. This helps teams communicate clearly, analyze systems effectively, and plan improvements or changes with better understanding of the underlying structure. IDEF5 supports consistent and comprehensive knowledge development, making complex information more manageable and accessible.
