There’s a high premium on knowing how to craft great definitions. Every business analyst should know how. To get you started, here are some basic criteria for great business definitions:

  • Each definition should communicate the essence of what a thing is, not what it does, how it’s used, or why it’s important.
  • The definition of a thing should focus on its unique characteristics.
  • Each thing you define should be distinguishable from every other thing you define using the definition alone.
  • Each definition should be concise and as short as possible without loss of meaning. A definition should be readable.

Business Data Diagrams are one of those MUST HAVE models for any product that is dealing with data. The exercise of creating the model itself creates a powerful, shared understanding of the underlying data constructs as users understand it. Instrumental in helping to identify additional, more detailed models that might be needed, the BDD can also help you get to a complete set of user stories around users interacting with the data following the create, use, edit, delete, move and copy actions.
