ABOUT THIS SESSION:

Based on the speaker’s experiences launching BRMSs at two government chartered enterprises over the last seven years, this session takes a light-hearted look at the world of business rule implementation, moving from Tribal Knowledge and unstable documentation to a fully implemented business rule engine. What you will learn:

• What it took to implement a business rules engine and business rules management discipline at VALET (a make believe company created from the presenter’s work experiences at both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae).
• What worked and what didn’t work in the implementation of the said business rules engine and business rules management discipline at VALET.
