Technique 38: Business rules analysis
Variants/Aliases
A related term is constraints analysis.
Description of the technique
Business rules underpin the way an organisation carries out its work. They are
the basis for the decisions that are made, which in turn determine the
information that is distributed and the sequence of tasks.
Business rules apply at a number of different levels, and can originate from
external and internal sources. The major categories of business rule are:
legal and regulatory constraints;
organisational policy constraints;
operational procedures.
