Observations

27 August, 2015 - 13:02

An analyst can also use observations to gather current information about how a system operates or to corroborate other information. Observation shows that systems often operate differently in practice than the business process owners (typically managers) believe that they do. Another related technique is a walkthrough, in which the analyst traces a business event as it is processed, observing and documenting what happens at each processing stage.
