Understanding and Applying Business Rules
Presented by: Ronald G. Ross
Are you up to speed on business rules? Do you know how they should be applied in business analysis and architecture? Do you know how to use those techniques to improve business communication and the clarity and quality of requirements?
This tutorial takes an in-depth look at these and related areas. Business rules aren’t what many people think. They are first and foremost about running the business, not designing systems. (But they are essential for that too.) You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the profound impact they can have in developing business insight and in pursuing business innovation. Let business rule development default to developers and you’ll never produce agile business solutions.
Success with business rules requires pragmatic approaches, appropriate skills, and clear vision. Whether you are new to the area or already experienced and looking for fresh ideas, this tutorial fits the bill. Come prepared with the questions you want answered!
- How to put the business back in the driver’s seat
- Business rules vs. business processes and business requirements
- Analyzing decisions: question charts and decision tables
- Concept models and business vocabulary
- Enriching, retaining and reusing business knowledge
