Modeling Business Processes with Business Rules and Decisions

Business rules and decisions can be treated as highly complementary concerns to business process models, each providing huge improvement for the other. Separating the capture and analysis of business rules and decisions simplifies the business process model dramatically. It also provides new points of leverage and remarkable benefits in achieving agility, consistency, and re-usability.

This presentation explains how to identify decisions and separate business rules from business process models. It will walk you through questions with examples to show you how to harvest business rules from process models. It also presents and explains innovative techniques for structured analysis of operational business decisions, including question charts that can be mapped to end-to-end business processes.
