    <sectionDescription>&lt;p>&#xD;
    &amp;nbsp;Get the&amp;nbsp;decision point table and persist it in a project workbook. If there is no decision point table, this&#xD;
    step needs to develop it.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    If the team needs to develop a decision point table the following simple process can be done:&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        From the business process description in BPM map or use case format, study the task or activity description and&#xD;
        search for verb&amp;nbsp;which involves mental processing or thinking.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Work with the Subject Matter Expert or with the business analyst responsible to document the Business Process on&#xD;
        how the decision on those activities are done. If there is some type of rule based decision, log in a table the&#xD;
        task reference, it forms a decision point.&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul></sectionDescription>
