Object Orientated Design (OOD) is the second stage in the object orientated software development cycle, the first stage being object orientated analysis(OOA), and the third being object orientated programming(OOP). Usually these are parts of a larger development cycle.
In essence object orientated design is to emphasize a problem from the perspective of objects, this is represented using UML.
OOD is used to expand on the outputs from Analysis to the level where programming can commence.

The outputs from OOD include:
• Prose Document
• Class Diagram
• Object Diagram
• Interaction Diagram (either Collaboration or Sequence, although sequence is most common)
• Statechart andA Activity Diagram's
• Formulae and algorithms
