Task: 2.6.2 - Identify Business Information
Create a common understanding on the Information Objects.
Relationships
Main Description

This task is optional depending on the agreed scope and approach in Focus And direction. The static aspect of the information is described by the definition of Information Objects and the characteristics of these objects. The dynamic aspect (behavior) is described by defining how the Business Activities use and communicate in terms of these objects. A structure of the Business Activities as well as a structure of the information itself can be defined based on the communication. The relevant information used in the business is captured in the Information Object Model. If the use of a reference model is agreed upon in the Focus And Direction Phase it can be helpful in shaping the necessary outline of the Information Object Model.
