Are business rules part of requirements
I was speaking to Barbara von Halle after she returned from an address to requirements people in Connecticut recently, and she told me how surprised she was that the folks at her talk did not see business rules as part of their activities. I wonder whether participants in RQNG believe that business rules are an integral part of requirements gathering...
Yes, but turn the statement around.
I agree that CM should be applied to requirements - not just information requirements. In fact, I'd take your first sentence and turn it around:
If business rules are a critical component to the definition of data, should there not be some sort of CM process in place to protect them?
