A note about orchestration development

This chapter, perhaps better than any other, demonstrates a common and effective pattern for orchestration development. The following steps are generally used to build orchestrations:

  1. Determine messages and required patterns.
  2. Create orchestration messages.
  3. Layout shapes.
  4. Create logical ports.

Although not all orchestration development (or developers) will follow these steps, I think they work best with the toolset as they start at the edges (messages) and work their way inward, ending in connecting the specific pieces.
