Explanation

In business analysis, models are structured representations (diagrams, matrices, outlines, etc.) used to communicate and analyze information. Models can categorize items and create hierarchies (e.g., feature trees), define boundaries of business domains (e.g., context diagrams), and show business logic (e.g., decision tables, process flows). What models are NOT designed to do is define the risk and reward associated with requirements - that is a function of risk analysis and decision analysis techniques, not modeling. Confusing risk/reward assessment with modeling is a common misconception.
