 |
| 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:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul style="MARGIN-TOP: 0cm" type="disc">
 |
| <li style="MARGIN: 3pt 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">
 |
| Do morning discovery workshop using elicitation techniques with the project stakeholders and subject matter expert.
 |
| During the&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)
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 3pt 0cm; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">
 |
| Second part of the day is used by&nbsp;the analyst and development team to perform analysis activities and later on
 |
| to author the rules.
 |
| </li>
 |
| </ul>

| As explained in <a class="elementLink"

 |
| guid="_ftAoIAjrEdyj5bYZ0eCR5g">Cycle Approach to Rules Development</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).<br class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 3pt 0cm" />

| 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..
