The present invention relates to a technique for improving software productivity. More specifically, the present invention relates to a technique for supporting object-oriented analysis and design to be used in object-oriented software development. In an object-oriented technology analysis and design supporting method when analysis and design is being performed according to object-oriented technology on a system for business, a person knowledgeable of the business can generate object design information with minimal variation in quality even if the person is not knowledgeable of object-oriented technology.In the method, an object design information generator receives: management resource construction information in which resources that should be managed in business are entered hierarchically as elements, business activity construction information in which business activity to be performed in business are entered hierarchically as elements, and a business action scenario, in which is entered, for each element position at the lowermost level in the business activity construction information, the arrangement of operations needed for carrying out the corresponding business activity. The elements in the management resource construction information and the business activity construction information are treated as objects. Class information having the element name are associated with each element, and method information indicating the behavior of the object is obtained from the business action scenario. The elements positioned hierarchically above and below the element are obtained as the relations class information.
