Pre-Design Tools

[Raven65]

I'm looking to start on a relativly large, and potentially multi-developer, project. So, I'm looking for some input as to what tools you guys use to layout, and potentially colaborate on the layout, of your application PRE coding.

We're typically a Top Down shop, and I'm trying to find a new way to manage the initial phase of our development efforts.

I use Microsoft Visio (integrated with MS Office) to make UML diagrams to document and plan an application

I've considereded Visio before, perhaps I'll look around it a bit more to see if iti would "fit".

I've taken a recent liking to MSoft's 07 release of OneNote...very flexable interface and supports "group" notebooks now...

Anyone else w/ ideas or experiences?

I am looking at the OneNote too, and curiously, does the MSoft's07 provide more com object/api for me to integrate to my application? Well, the older version didn't have much interface build, unless I use the abletFactory...
