Structured Walkthroughs

Structured walkthroughs are formal, step-by-step inspections of analysis results.

You present the walkthroughs verbally to the business personnel most familiar with the business area being analyzed.

Structured walkthroughs can be used at any stage of analysis.

Within correctness checking, the walkthroughs help users to verify that the analysis model correctly and completely reflects the business needs. It is especially useful for the following:

During the walkthrough, those who developed the model systematically explain the meaning and interpretation of the model, the modeling decisions that have been made, and the impact of those decisions.

Participants check, discuss, and agree on each element of the model.

The level of detail varies according to the interests of the business participants.
