- BA incorporates into documentation
- should be completed prior to design
- Conceptual modeling and business process models
-
- should begin during requirements phase (middle to end)
- can take up to 1-3 2 hour sessions, set up by the BA, facilitated by DM
- member of DM will work with BA, business owner and key users (identified by business) to create conceptual model (document the relationships)
- DM will then help BA map the business processes as well, if desired (or BA can do on their own)
- BA incorporates into documentation
- should be completed prior to final requirements sign off
-
-
- test requirements against conceptual model and business process maps as further validation
- modify as needed
- team can then take conceptual model to physical level (design) and define data (fields)
- team can then test design against conceptual model prior to design review
-
- Maintenance requests
-
- enhancement requests should always refer to model to see if:
-
-
- you will break model with additional functionality OR
- you need to extend the model to incorporate new functionality
