     guid=&quot;_XUyFIEb1EdySHMdInS9eGA&quot;>Decision point&lt;/a>&amp;nbsp;represents an activity in a business process where decisions are
     done. When looking at a task description it is important to search for mental thinking verb, most of the time there is
     a set of knowledge to apply to execute this task, which leads to decision. This could be human knowledge or business
     logic implementation in a software component. The type of decision will most likely be a reject or accept of the
     business event or flag it for future processing downstream in the business process. The decision may also include some
     computational expressions to assign value to attribute of the business transaction. Therefore to find decision point in
     a business process or use case description start by searching for mental, action verb like analyze, check, validate,
     evaluate, verify, assess, ...
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     In a BPMN process diagram a business process analyst and/ or a rule analyst can annotate the process to highlight
     decision point in the process.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     &lt;img height=&quot;363&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;resources/FindDecisionPoint.bmp&quot; width=&quot;1572&quot; />
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     The search for decision point, attached to a business process description (done with use case or with BPMN does not
     matter), helps to drive the rule analysis, and helps the business to focus at the business rule&amp;nbsp;enforcement.
     If&amp;nbsp;the business team misses where the rule should be enforced, he can spend months defining business rules which
     IT does not understand where to deploy them. The decision point can help drive the discovery of the business policies
     and rules, for an implementation point of view, as well as a way to organize the top down approach. A decision point
     support multiple rules, and if implemented with a rule engine, the rules are packaged as rule set.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     Also finding the decision points involves studying&lt;br />
     • Which use cases/scenarios represent decisions - At what steps in the use case is a decision made?&lt;br />
     • Which requirements constitute rich set of decisions?&lt;br />
     • Which steps/cases/requirements represent significant complexity?&lt;br />
     • Which steps/cases/requirements are most subject to change?&lt;br />
     • Look for decision diamonds in the flow charts and activity diagrams, the gateway by itself route the data to the next
     activity, but the activity before the gateway should be rich in decisions.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     The documentation of the decision point can be done in table format.

     An example may be &quot;claim data review&quot;, or &quot;loan eligibility&quot;...
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     The source for rule discovery describes the main sources of rule harvesting like human, code, database, book, policies,
     legal&amp;nbsp;manual...
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     The current state of automation is optional and just list&amp;nbsp;if for this given decision point we can have tools which
     can migrate the business rules&amp;nbsp;from one format to another.&amp;nbsp;
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     The last column can be useful to define who will be the owner of the rule set(s) supporting the decision point. He/She
     will be an important actor of the rule discovery.

     A Business Process is a collection of interrelated tasks, which solve a particular business problem or process a
     business event: a claim is received and needs to be processed within 15 days.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     A business process can be decomposed into several sub-processes, which have their own attributes, but also contribute
     to achieving the goal of the super-process.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     The following process map is done using BPMN 1.2 (2..0 soon)&amp;nbsp;and illustrates a loan underwriting process. The
     entry point is a mail with the loan application received, then the process follow a set of activities to decide if the
     loan is eligible and what kind of loan product we can offer to the borrower and at what financial condition. This
     process as described here is not taking into account the actors of the process. Swim lanes can be added&amp;nbsp;to group
     tasks per actors.

     <refinedDescription>&lt;p>
     There are two dimensions to consider when preparing the rule discovery activi-ties or roadmap:
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;ul>
     &lt;li>
         The type of source for rule harvesting
     &lt;/li>
     &lt;li>
         The type of analysis used by the project team: use case approach, busi-ness process modeling, mission policies
         analysis
     &lt;/li>
 &lt;/ul>
 &lt;p>
     Tony Morgan in his book &quot;Business Rules and Information Systems: Aligning IT with Business Goals&quot; proposes the
     following discovery processed according to the different source above:
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;ul>
     &lt;li>
         The static analysis process uses reading and highlighting the rules within documentation. The elicitation is based
         on reading session completed with Question / Answer workshop sessions
     &lt;/li>
     &lt;li>
         Interactive involves a Subject Matter Expert who has the knowledge of the business process and the decisions to
         take to process a given business event.The process will be done by using elicitation workshop
     &lt;/li>
     &lt;li>
         Automated involve using a computer and special application to search for rule statement within procedure code, SQL
         procedures, code listing... Code review should always be complemented by workshop sessions for Q&amp;amp;A.&lt;br />
     &lt;/li>
 &lt;/ul>
 &lt;p>
     So for each decision point within the DP table do the following steps&amp;nbsp;
 &lt;/p></refinedDescription>

     To make the better use of the development and business team's time it is important to plan in advance the workshop
     sessions and to clearly state what is in the agenda. We recommend organizing the day in two parts:
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;ul style=&quot;MARGIN-TOP: 0cm&quot; type=&quot;disc&quot;>
     &lt;li style=&quot;MARGIN: 3pt 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt&quot;>
         Do morning discovery workshop using elicitation techniques with the project stakeholders and subject matter expert.
         During the&amp;nbsp;rule harvesting phase the analyst team may want to use the rule template document to enter the rule
         description and use some simple diagramming techniques to define the business entities (A good tool is the UML
         class diagram but without the details of the methods)
     &lt;/li>
     &lt;li class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 3pt 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt&quot;>
         Second part of the day is used by&amp;nbsp;the analyst and development team to perform analysis activities and later on
         to author the rules.
     &lt;/li>
 &lt;/ul>
 &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 3pt 0cm&quot;>
     As explained in &lt;a class=&quot;elementLink&quot;
     href=&quot;./../../practice.tech.abrd.base/guidances/concepts/cycle_approach_7FA44D8F.html&quot;
     guid=&quot;_ftAoIAjrEdyj5bYZ0eCR5g&quot;>Cycle Approach to Rules Development&lt;/a> the discovery workshops are in phase 1, 2, and
     3, but with different frequency of occurrence. Phase 1 and 2, the workshops can be set every morning, but starting on
     phase 3 it could happen every two days or more (but never more than a week to keep the focus and efficiency in the
     process).&lt;br class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 3pt 0cm&quot; />
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 3pt 0cm&quot;>
     The team should verify to have access to a dedicated meeting room with white boards, pencils, paper; post it, and
     potentially a UML tool to quickly develop diagrams..

     <refinedDescription>&lt;p>
     Rule elicitation is an ongoing activity you perform throughout the project. Collaboration with your stakeholders is
     critical. They will change their minds as the project proceeds and that's perfectly fine.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     The documentation of the rule may be done using different language. The natural language is initially used during
     business conversations to describe the rule, informally, without trying to impose any structure. SMEs express their
     ideas using a language very close to them, but they usually are not able to formalize their concepts in a clear and
     unambiguous way. Using this language we may have redundancy and inconstancy in the rule ex-pression, in the business
     terms, and overall by it may not be relevant and precise enough to be able to implement the decision logic.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     Conceptualization and representation play fundamental roles in thinking, communicating, and modeling.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     A second evolution is still in natural language, and is still consumable by both analysts and developers, but, we have
     imposed some structure, and we made sure that they are relevant and have the right form, but may not be correct
     semantically. We use the rule description template to log the rule.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     The last type of expressiveness of the language to document the rule is precise and there are no ambiguities: the rule
     refers exactly to information system objects. This language is parse-able and non-ambiguous. Semantics of Business
     Vocabulary and Business Rules or SBVR from Object Management Group can be used at this stage to specify formally
     representations of concepts, definitions, instances, and rules&amp;nbsp;in natural language.

     The rule description document is used during the discovery phase, and during the first iterations for building a rule
     set. It is not mandatory to complete it up front with all the rules in it. The complement is done during the Rule
     Authoring phase.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     It is also interesting to leverage SBVR to document the rule.

     <refinedDescription>&lt;p>
     A conceptual data model describes the things important for an organization as entity classes and characteristics of the
     things as attributes, and using&amp;nbsp;associations between things. By 'thing'&amp;nbsp;we mean anything perceivable or
     conceivable and used in a day to day conversation.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     Conceptual data model is used to explore domain concepts&amp;nbsp;as a communication vehicle&amp;nbsp;between the analysts and
     the business team members.
 &lt;/p>
 &lt;p>
     With&amp;nbsp;an&amp;nbsp;Agile approach CDMs are used to explore the high-level static business structures and concepts, and
     are described during the initial requirements iterations. In our approach conceptual data model are the first version
     of the logical data model. So we use different level of&amp;nbsp;a class diagram to represent the CDM.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The rule
     elicitation phase is most of the time leveraging the diagrams of&amp;nbsp;the CDMs, but once we progress into the
     iterations the CDMs are replaced by the LDMs.
