Workflow Detail: Refine Business Process Definitions
Each business use case will be assigned a team member who is responsible for
describing it in detail. Acting as business designer, that person will complete
the definition of the business use case, and lead a review session for the
business use case. Other members of the business-modeling team are invited to
this review session to act as business-model reviewers. The business designer
may also invite representatives for stakeholders to the project, such as end
users.
The purpose of this workflow detail is to:
- Detail the definition of the business use case.
- Verify that the business use case correctly reflects how business is done.
A person acting as business designer needs to have good writing skills.
Knowledge of the business domain is, of course, also helpful, but this can be
covered by involving domain experts as reviewers.
The core development team should conduct a few rounds of internal
walkthroughs, facilitated by the business designer, to clean up unnecessary
inconsistencies before their work is more formally inspected and reviewed by the
extended team.
The team divides the material so that they don’t have to review everything
at once. The review meeting should not take more than a day.
