Hi there,
What is the best practice in terms of relating business rules to requirements within the (business) requirements document? I have been asked to link business rules to requirements but the business rules relate to multiple requirements and vice-versa. However, I am uncomfortable doing this as I feel it can relate to confusion and unwanted complexity.
Please could someone also give any advice/feedback on the cross referencing feature of word? Could it be used to do the task above (linking business requirements to business rules)?
Much Appreciated.
Cheers
Shiro
Business Requirements are largely required manual and/or automated behavior to a higher level of abstraction. Business rules related to required business behavior at a more detailed level. The key to linking them together is a logical, natural partitioning (decomposition) from the higher level to the detailed.
Unfortunately, such decomposition is based on an interface (input/output) analysis that strikes the fear of God in most BA's. Good luck, you are being asked to do something that your bosses cannot/will not do themselves.
Many Thanks Tony.
Your help is much appreciated.
