− Complexity & Risk
− Approval
Stakeholder engagement

RACI matrix: Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed
Communication Plan
, 2. Business Rules and Decision Modelling
A. Decisions, processes, rules
Focus op operational decisions
(niet tactical/strategic decisions)
Decisions in processes
- inside a knowledge-intensive activity
‘classify task’
- as shown by a simple gateway (XOR)
- as shown by a cascade of gateways
⇒ Rule Task
Decision Modeling & Notation standard (DMN)
- door business people, niet door IT’ers!
- decision automation; decision service
DMN models can be automated using a Business Rules Management Systems (BRMS)
DMN: two modelling levels
− The Decision Requirements level (inputs required)
− The Decision Logic level (how Is outcome determined?)
Business rules
Other business rules (naast decision rules)
- behavioural rules & constraints
- timing rules
- task allocation rules
Examples slide 35
Policies and rules:
- operative business rule: specifies conduct or behaviour, can be violated
- structural business rules: can not be violated (wel misunderstood/misapplied)
Modelling business rules
- natural language
- logic
- Structured English Rules (subset of English, in between logic and natural language)
- Decision trees, tables, graphs, diagrams
- Object Constraint Language
Rules taxonomy (how to categorize business rules) /!\ RULES KUNNEN INDELEN
- Derivations
Computations
Inferences (if then else)
- Constraints (never balance <0, no if-then-else)
State constraint
Transition constraint
Stimulus constraint
