7.1 9.7. State Modelling - (FreeCourseWeb - Com)

This document discusses state modelling and analytical techniques used for business analysis. It describes state modelling as a way to represent how an entity changes states and the factors that influence state transitions. Key elements include initial states, transition states, final states, and conditional transitions. The document also discusses state diagrams and state tables as tools to map states and transitions. It notes that state modelling helps identify business rules and communicate requirements to stakeholders and developers.

-three main states: an initial state,
transition state and a final state
