My most heartfelt thanks to everyone for their input on my development question!
I've gotten a lot of great feedback, and have begun researching the many, many books suggested by the list.
Lots to look at and read, and I thought I'd add a few books to the discussion that were suggested to me by a co-worker. He is in charge of our software development team and even worked for Apple (during the Sculley years) for a time. I'm learning more and more than he is outstanding at needs assessment and development project planning. He suggested a number of books:

They all got outstanding reviews and come highly recommended. Sounds like good knowledge for understanding how to capture and translate real world business systems into software equivalents. I know I find this technique difficult, and often get lost when I try to figure out what types of OOP objects should represent a real world concept, and which object should "own" a process or other object.
Thanks again to the group for your assistance!
