| &nbsp;Get the&nbsp;decision point table and persist it in a project workbook. If there is no decision point table, this
 |
| step needs to develop it.

 |
| <p>
 |
| If the team needs to develop a decision point table the following simple process can be done:
 |
| </p>
 |
| <ul>
 |
| <li>
 |
| From the business process description in BPM map or use case format, study the task or activity description and
 |
| search for verb&nbsp;which involves mental processing or thinking.
 |
| </li>
 |
| <li>
 |
| Work with the Subject Matter Expert or with the business analyst responsible to document the Business Process on
 |
| how the decision on those activities are done. If there is some type of rule based decision, log in a table the
 |
| task reference, it forms a decision point.
 |
| </li>
