In some organizations, business rule practitioners (business rule analysts and developers) are part of a specific project team.

In other organizations, especially ones with more than one business rule project, a centralized group is suggested so as to leverage expertise and establish cross-project standards and to share technology.

If you are an organization that has established or wants to establish such a group, can you please provide advice to others:

- To which area of the company does such a group report? Is it an IT group, business, or both?
- What kinds of roles are within the group?
- Do you hire from the outside or train from within?
- What is its mission?
- When would you *not* form such a group?
