1. Define states

   Specify possible, meaningful conditions or situations an object might be in during its life time in a system.

   

2. Describe states

   Tell others more in detail about what those states are with documentation for future reference.

   

3. Draw transitions

   Draw directed lines to depict changes from one state to another.

   

4. Define transition triggers

   Clarify what events kick off the transitions.

   

5. Define guard conditions

   Place constraints that need to be met before a transition actually takes place - making a transition conditional.
