'''Prosa Structured Analysis Tool''' is a visual systems and software development environment which supports industry standard SA/SD/RT [[Structuredstructured Analysisanalysis]] and Designdesign with Realreal-Timetime Extensionsextensions modeling method. Prosa supports data flow diagrams, state transition diagrams and entity relationship diagrams using Chen's and Bachmans ER notations. Prosa has integrated data dictionary.

Prosa actively guides the designer to create correct and consistent graphic diagrams. Prosa offers interactive checking between diagrams. Concurrent documentation integration ensures real-time link from design to documentation.

Several designers can work concurrently in the same modeling project. The diagrams are locked so that only one designer is allowed to edit a diagram at a time. Standard security settings of the file system can be used to set designer specific read/write

rights.
