Process of Analyzing Business Requirements

This process is a step in Roadmap for Developing Workflow Processes.

To analyze business requirements, do the following tasks:

1. Gathering Information for Planning a Workflow Process
2. Identifying Actions That the Business Process Performs
3. Identifying an Automation Solution

The first step in developing a workflow process includes analyzing your business requirements. You determine the rules and business processes that the workflow process must automate. An implementation project team typically spends a significant amount of time performing requirements analysis, with this step requiring as much as 30% of the total implementation effort. To define the processes to automate, a business analyst uses a Siebel CRM application, and then determines the most appropriate automation solution. The developer who defines the workflow process often participates as a technical consultant during this analysis.
