Generate a Business Rules Model
The Business Rules Model captures:
- The rules that apply to a business process
- The business tasks or objects that the rules take effect on, and
- The actual processing that takes place to apply the rules and produce a decision or result
As a very useful starting point in setting up your Business Rules model, you can generate the model structure and initial components using the Enterprise Architect Model Wizard.
