Process-Rule Integrated ModelBackground> The development of the Process and Rules

Model happened by “chance” with the first project where process and rules staff were both assigned

> Prior to the implementation of this model, requirements were gathered in JAD sessions, where SMEs were expected to supply “everything they know” about a project scope, without any structure around how to organize and communicate their knowledge

Page 12: Process Design

12

Process-Rule Integrated ModelBackground

With the Process-Rule model, SMEs are given a structured methodology

The customer decides what process and rule levels they would like to have created and documented

Page 13: Process Design

13

Process and Rule relationships- levels 1 through 4 (working document) Process1 Level Description Rules Level

Description

Process and Rules Relationship

When is this level necessary

Level 1 This level shows the basic high level steps of a/the process (approx. 3-7 boxes) to gain a broad understanding of what is done during the process

Level 1 Rules allow for one or more concepts within the high level project scope, to be defined as terms.

Within Level 1 Terms in high level process steps are used consistently and include a clear definition for use throughout the process.

When a general overview of the process is needed and when a project needs to know high level common terminology and how these concepts relate to each other. When a project requires clear understanding of concepts (common terminology) and how these concepts relate to each other at a high level.

Level 2 This level shows which department, role or function, is responsible for specific actions and who is doing what from a task standpoint. Each step of the level 1 would be defined in more task detail with critical decision points.

This level identifies hand-offs and/or interactions by the players in the process.

Level 2 Rules identify the basic terminology, definitions and relationships between terms (aka: Fact Model) and the Governing Rules* within the project scope. *see “When Do You Need This Level” for definition of Governing Rules

Within Level 2 process steps will correlate to Process/Guidance Rules. Decision points will correlate to Decision Rules. Decision points may also be used to establish a classification and hierarchy structure for the rules (aka: Rule Groups).

When processes need to define, with more detail, what is determined in Level 1 but includes critical, high-level decision points and shows hand-offs with responsible parties defined. A level 2 process begins to identify the risks to the process that can be addressed using process improvement. When a project requires only a basic understanding of the Governing Rules related to its scope and the rules will not be implemented as part of the project scope. Examples of Governing Rules are: A legal statement (e.g., law, act, statute, etc.), formal regulation, binding agreement (e.g., contractual obligation), higher-level business policy or directive. Governing rules are often aimed at guiding or constraining the business, regulating its interactions with external parties, and/or limiting its exposure to risks or threats. A Governing Rule is at risk for misinterpretation. Risk is reduced or minimized, by reducing the Governing Rule down to one or more Operating Rules (Level 3) to be applied in an actual business process or system design. Governing Rules are non-automatable.

1 A Process map or flowchart is a method of making a process visible. Note: All process steps should begin with an action verb.

Process-Rule Integrated ModelBenefits> The benefits of taking the time to

document the Process and Rules from a business perspective

– Project is clearly defined-”Walk the Wall”

– The captured business knowledge is understood

– Documented Process and Rules are a direct feed to complete Business Requirements

Page 15: Process Design

15

Process-Rule Integrated ModelBenefits

– Once all of the process steps, decisions and rules are documented – the analysis of what can be, or even should be automated (agile vs. static), is an easier process for both the business and IT

– Business is provided with a means for effective change management; business artifacts (process, terms, rules) are maintained and available for change impact analysis, external to the applications

This is about making sure anything you specified be captured in your case information be completed. It’s not a separate rule, in my opinion.

Opportunities Captured

Mtg Date Issue Assigned to: Do-ability Outcome StatusKeep two invoicing processes alike - Need to make them consistent and streamlines as today they are varied and different.- most manually done-

accurate number of non-benefit information for billing requirements – need billing info automation of rates - would save re-work of reentering the info Don’t always match – increased error – not enough time and staff to catch.

Order form in Lotus database – just send auto notification – saves space and it is there in one accessible placeOne copy if there is a revision current on Lotus – reduces errors if declined - removed – documented

Invoicing - Opportunities

Wins from the first project:

> It is more efficient for the customer to combine rules and process – although the focus of Rules and Process are different

> Rules Steward gains a deeper understanding of the process and does not have to spend as much time on the back end reviewing

> Rules Steward gains trust of the customer from the beginning – doesn’t have to build the relationship

> Customers gain a better understanding of what the rules are and how they work because they are discussed during the process

> Rules are written for the business, by the business – our business customers are happy to speak their own language and have someone else wonder who will make the system stuff happen!

Lessons Learned from our first project:> Need strong communication between Rules and

Process team to know when review of Rules needs to be done

> If terminology is introduced by the Rules Team the Process team will re-use it

> Facilitation skills are critical along with human relation skills – for both process design and rules capture

> Need to obtain commitment up front by having sponsor/governing body sign off

> Charter needs to declare the processes and rules levels to be designed and their priority

Customer Perspectives

IT Project Manager

> Thank you for your help and involvement with this effort. My main observation is that the involvement of your team really helped to clarify and articulate business requirements relating to potential technical work. It is always a challenge to bridge the 'business/IT gap'. I think your work really helped to close the gap, and enable the BA to complete his work with less effort on his part.

Lead IT Business Analyst

> Your team successfully brought together the Product Management Department in a consistent and reliable manner and produced good deliverables that I could use to further refine and define business requirement documentation.

> You established a good rapport with the subject matter experts and were able to gather a significant amount of detail for some complicated processes.

More from our Customers

Project Subject Matter Expert

> The success that I saw was your team’s ability to gain commitment from the IT department to attend the beginning part of the meetings. You assisted in the detailed documentation of the process. These meetings were between 2-3 hours and you made them enjoyable and yet productive. You and the team’s ability to drill down to the details, capture parking lot issues/concerns and document opportunities was extremely helpful to the Product Management team.

Project Manager

> One big success is simply the fact that your team took the time to move this project forward. We needed someone with the experience of your team to lead the effort of getting things documented thoroughly and accurately, and keeping things organized & tracked. Members of the project team haven't had time to do this on our own due to the workload (which is why we are doing this work!) so we truly appreciate your efforts!

> Another success is that these efforts are reusable for future projects
