Sources are places where TeamWork specifications were
discovered. The Source of a Business Rule indicates "where the rule
came from".
Examples of Sources are
meetings and sessions, documents such as forms and e-mails, reports
of telephone conversations, and information found in legacy
software. You can store documents as part of the Source definition
in USoft TeamWork.
Development teams often
"discover" new rules that were not explicitly stated during direct
contact with the customer or in a customer's writings, but that
seem a logical consequence of another more explicit rule. Such
rules may be entered as separate Business Rules marked by setting
their Source to a value INFERENCE (for logical consequences),
INTERPRETATION or ASSUMPTION (if there is no compelling logical
consequence or if the development team is not sure). The new rule
can be related to the original rule by setting its Belongs To
attribute to that rule.
It is a good idea to have
rules with this type of Source systematically validated by the
customer at a later occasion. The Approved flag should be set to
Yes to indicate that this has happened.
