⚠️The Decision Intelligence starts with “Decision”. Read it again. It literally starts with the “Decision”.
Contrary to many professionals, the concept of “decision” is still unclear to many people. Many have their own definition or their own way of representing it.
Some wrongly may also think:
❌ decision is a process
❌decision is business rules
❌decision is data and dashboards
❌decision is machine learning and algorithms
❌decision is an optimization model using constraints
❌decision is the Next-Best-Action (NBA) in personalization
Because of these differences of opinion, people use different techniques and languages to model a decision. So, I believe we do not need to argue about this anymore.
✨Decision Model and Notation (or DMN) is a modeling language and notation to represent organizations' decision-making scenarios.
Do not settle down with proprietary model or doodling.
💡Model and Execute business decisions with Decision Model and Notation – Conformance Level 3.
Using DMN to model your organizational decision-making will:
🔹help all stakeholders understand a complex domain of decision-making using easily readable diagrams
🔹provide a natural basis for discussion and agreement on the scope and nature of business decision-making
🔹reduce the effort and risk of decision automation projects through graphical decomposition of requirements
🔹allow business rules to be defined simply and reliably in unambiguous decision tables
🔹simplify the development of decisioning systems using specifications that may be automatically validated and executed
🔹provide a structured context for the development and management of predictive analytic models
🔹enable the development of a library of reusable decision-making components
🚀What's best is the Decision Model and Notation is not just a beautiful visual diagram. It also provides aspects of Runtime behavior which means the diagrams and model created by DMN are executable.
