Gosu rule management
Guidewire strongly recommends that you tightly control access to changing rules within your organization. Editing rules is a complicated process. Because PolicyCenter uses rules to make automated decisions regarding many important business objects, you need to be careful to verify rule changes before moving them into production use.
Typically, the following kinds of people manage the PolicyCenter Gosu rules.
- Business analysts
- One or more business analysts who own decision-making for making the necessary rules. Business analysts must understand the normal business process flow and must understand the needs of your business organization and how to support these needs through rules in PolicyCenter.
- Technical rule writers
- One or more rule writers who are generally more technical than business analysts. Possibly, this can be someone on the business side with a good technical aptitude. Or possibly, this can be someone within IT with a good understanding of the business entities that are important to your business. Rule writers are responsible for encoding rules and editing the existing set of rules to implement the logic described by business analysts. The rule writers work with the business analysts to create feasible Gosu rules. These are rules that you can actually implement with the information available to PolicyCenter.
