Business Rules Documenting Approach 

Good afternoon dear community,

I wanted to conduct a quick poll to see what is most common approach fellow BA/BSAs take when documenting business rules.  In your reply please indicate which answer best applies to you:

a) Documenting business rules using If-Else statements or other pseudo code terminology (such as: When x equals y system will not allow user to register)

b) Using Plain English approach (System cannot accept more than 25 student registrations per one class) 

c) Other (please briefly specify what consitutes as 'Other' to you).

Your response and time are much appreciated. 

Thank you,

Roman

Two often use techniques are:

  • Decision Trees.

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
