Specfying Business Requirements: What techniques have people used to model data and field busines ru 

 Hi guys,

 
I'm wondering what techniques people are using to model data and field business requirements/rules ?
 
In the past we've used a combination of a use cases, business domain model, wireframes and supplmentary information (in a table) to indicate what fields are displayed on the screen, behaviour of these fields and any special rules. We then trace these wireframes to specific system interaction steps modelled in use cases.
 
I believe that this is perhaps too prescriptive and can limit creativity during the high level and detail design stages of a software development process.
 
Has anyone used any other artifacts to represent these requirements that are less prescriptive but still highlight specify business rule behaviour particularly identifying what fields are optional / mandatory?

 Hi Chanos,

If your business requirements are down at the level of defining fields on screens you're already way into solution i.e. you're past modelling business requirements. Hopefully before you specified your screens and fields you actually gathered your business requirements. Can't help you with the solution definition, talk to a system designer.
