Business Rules Analysis

Technique to define the rules that govern decisions in an organization and constrain operations.

Definition

BABOK distinguishes definitional rules (constraints on information) from behavioral rules (constraints on actions). Rules should be managed separately from processes.

Example

'Orders over $10,000 require manager approval' is a behavioral rule.

Exam tip

Separate rules from process flows so they can change independently.
