Steps to take when building application from scratch

What steps would I need to take to build a complete application from
scratch?
I'll be working on a payroll/HR application but, instead of just starting to
program like I normally would do, I would like to be to do it correctly.
What steps (in terms of designing, drawing, flowcharts, etc...) would I need
to take in order to make it as comfortable as possible?
So how should I go about designing this application?
Thanks,
VM

Vaughn,

There are many different answers to this question. Granted, there are
some accepted practices, but you need to figure out what is good for the
application you are writing, and the audience that you are writing it for.
I think that the most important thing to do is to figure out your user
requirements first. Nail down what they want the program to do, and how
your program will do it (from the user's perspective). Make sure they know
what to expect. This makes the whole development process much easier,
rather than you just trying to guess at what is needed or wanted.

Hope this helps.
