Business System Analysis II – Discovering,
Analyzing & Specifying Data Oriented Business Rules
An Intensive 1-day Instructor Led Training Program
“How” an organization operates continually changes over time. However, “what” an organization needs to know about is relatively stable over time - regardless of “how” it operates
Data oriented business rules comprise the type of things that an organization needs to know about (i.e. Order, Customer, Product, Account, Shipment, Payment, Route, etc.), what an organization needs to know about these things, and how these things relate - one to the other.
Discovering, analyzing, defining and specifying data oriented business rules is a business analysis thing performed from a business perspective - not a database design thing performed from technical perspective!
Why this training program is important to you and to your organization
Data oriented business rules in many organizations are often maintained informally in the minds of business end users - resulting in ambiguous understanding and inconsistent application of the rules across the enterprise.
These same ambiguous inconsistent definitions of data oriented business rules, unfortunately, are often utilized in connection with specifying business requirements for technology solutions – resulting in solutions that are not effective in supporting business end users.
Business Systems Analysis II is about rapidly discovering, thoroughly analyzing, precisely defining and accurately specifying data oriented business rules to enable effective business and IT solutions.
What you will learn
• Inteq’s 10 business rule analysis patterns to enable rapid discovery of data oriented business rules.
• Entity-relationship (E/R) diagramming techniques to enable rapid and thorough analysis, validation, and refinement of data oriented business rules
• To specify precise unambiguous data oriented business rules - from a business perspective to ensure a consistent common understanding among business end users, analysts and IT Professionals
• Essential critical thinking skills to enable you to cut though ambiguous and superficial level discussions to distill the essence of complex business concepts
