FAQ re: Principle 10.3
Question: What does Manifesto mean by "hardware/software platforms" in principle 10.3?

Business rules should be organized and stored in such a way that they can be readily redeployed to new hardware/software platforms.

The intended sense is "machines or software systems capable of supporting some type of business activity". The same thought applies, however, to new business capabilities (i.e., to viewing some new part of the business as a "system").


FAQ re: Principle 10.4
Question: What is the sense of "adaptability" in Manifesto principle 10.4?

Rules, and the ability to change them effectively, are fundamental to improving business adaptability.

The intended sense is "an ability to adjust nimbly to changing circumstances, emerging risks, or new opportunities" - in other words, agility.

The Business Rules Group As prepared by members of The Business Rules Group,

Originally a project within GUIDE International, the Business Rules Group [BRG] subsequently became an independent organization. BRG's membership comprises experienced practitioners in the field of systems and business analysis methodology. BRG's members are practitioners who work in both the public and the private sectors.

The BRG charter is to formulate statements and supporting standards about the nature and structure of business rules, the relationship of business rules with the way an enterprise is organized, and the relationship of business rules with systems' architectures.

BRG's standards work has been picked up and merged with OMG's.
