W2-123 - Business Rules: A Round Trip Journey on the Road to Success
Date: Tuesday April 15 - 8:30am – 4:30pm
Description
Business rules are an essential part of business analysis because they define, constrain or enable the behavior of software or business processes. Rules are at the heart of functional requirements. Deriving, specifying, verifying, and validating business rules that are high quality—correct, consistent, clear and complete—is an enormous challenge for business analysts.
This advanced workshop will take you on a three-part journey. In part 1, you will identify business rules that further define analysis models such as events, state diagrams, use cases and the logical data model. During part 2, you will dig into the details of writing atomic (very granular) business rules and use the six categories of rules and their syntax to write precise, testable, business rule statements. We complete our roundtrip journey in part 3 by threading the business rules back to the requirements models that will enforce or implement them. This journey will provide you with specific tools and techniques to enable you to succeed with business rules in your requirements efforts.

Leverage focus questions to uncover business rules in analysis models
