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 from the process that complies with the rules. 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.
