6 Setting the context: Challenges for RE in Analytics 2

7 Setting the context - It s all about data!? How is this achieved? How is this consistently documented? L T E System A System B System C

8 In RE we have to tackle several challenges Business Process Usage requirements and contextual environment Domain Models Data Sources Roles and goals What is the business context? Frequency / Criticality What data is required? Logics Key Figures Personas Device How is data consumed? Use Cases UX Report Dashboard Interface Iterative Frequent user feedback Incremental Business Value Risk Driven

9 Traceability structure in Business Intelligence Business Processes Traceability User Stories Use Cases Reports Domain Model Data Sets Slices Data Sets

10 Capturing the business context The Reporting Information System 3

11 A structured evaluation of all existing reporting content has been achieved What is the business context? Who is using which report for what purpose in which location? Reporting Information System Location Reports Business Owner Business Process Business Process Step Actor

12 We are able to analyse our reporting portfolio from different perspectives

13 A structured evaluation of all existing reporting content has been achieved Which report is containing which data? What data is required? Key Figures Characteristics Logics Query Information System

14 Providing Data - Data Flows and Data Sets 4

15 Existing specification is complex and confusing What data is required? Domain Model Domain Model No clear responsibility for Excel documents No documentation for business

16 New form of specification is data centric Domain Model Data flow Domain Model Data flow per data set Requirements Engineers responsible Readable by business NFR Spec + per Report

17 Data sets are the basic entities of the reporting domain model providing business value Data Set Data Set: A collection of data belonging together from a business perspective, e.g. a class in a domain model

18 Data must be transformed from the source model to the target model to provide data sets Source Report

19 Every extraction process can be detailed by a drill down Reused source system domain model class Logical reporting data set ReinsuranceCoverageMgmt::Coverage + broker: Broker [0..1] = NULL + brokerage: Percent = 0% + cessionlimit: Amount + comment: Comment + coveragetype: CoverageType + eventlimit: Amount + id: OverallUniqueID {readonly} + internalid: int = NULL + isunlimited: bool = TRUE + largelosslimit: Amount + leadingbroker: Broker [0..1] + limit: Amount [0..1] = NULL + name: BoundedString + ordinalnumberwithincontractperiod: int «reporting» + isspecialtreaty: bool = FALSE + protectedshare: Percent = NULL + renewalstatus: RenewalStatus = NotActive + underwritingstatus: UnderwritingStatus = NotActive Extract relevant fields from TPS Coverage :: TPSCov erage - attachmentpoint: Amount - broker: Broker - coverageid: OverallUniqueID - coveragetype: CoverageType - isspecial: bool - limit: Amount - name: String - protectedshare: Percent - renewalstatus: RenewalStatus - underwritingstatus: UnderwritingStatus ReinsuranceCov eragemgmt::nonproportionalreinsurancecov erage + annualaggregatedeductible: Amount + annualaggregatedeductibletype: AnnualAggregateDeductibleType + annualaggregatelimit: Amount + attachmentpoint: Amount

20 Every transformation process can be detailed by a drill down

21 But additional documents are needed How is data consumed? Parameter Screen Selection Report Initial Layout and drill down attributes Report Overview Document: Report Specification Links to all relevant documents and specification of other topics (e.g. report specific NFR, authorization, )

22 Experience and lessons learnt 5

23 Our Experiences Project Team Test and Developer Data flows per data set help to slice requirements for iterative development Data sets used to structure test cases Unambiguous specification by using data flows instead of word documents If no source domain model exists, you can also start from the technical model Easy to read and understand, drill down to required level of detail helps Business Feedback Think they will like to review this kind of documentation The Business Reporting Repository enables business to manage Report portfolio Our Feedback Quality check of source system domain models Shows other projects which data are available and their structure The Business Reporting Repository supports a business value driven agile planning
