💥The good news is that agile is not dead (yet). The bad news is that it struggles to deliver in decision automation projects!

Agile software development practices have brought tremendous success in many areas of software development through the iterative approach. However, they struggle to deliver decision agility and live by their core key values (from the Agile Manifesto) when facing uncertainty and frequent changes in regulatory requirements. agilecoach

Here are the Agile key values from its Agile Manifesto:
* Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.
* Working software over comprehensive documentation.
* Customer collaboration over contract negotiation.
* Responding to change over following a plan.

🚩Agile practices cannot live by these values when it comes to decision-making scenarios that require fast responses, considering a high degree of uncertainty in regulated settings like BFSI banking financialservices and insurance.

💣The need for quick decisions (decision agility) with supported documentation for evolving regulatory requirements and transparency in reasoning and outcomes will require more than just a working software based on individual interactions.

How can agile practices and teams remain successful while living their core values when it comes to decision-making scenarios?

🚀Embracing Decision Model and Notation (DMN) – The open standard, vendor-natural approach in modeling and executing business decisions ensures transparency, expandability, and agility.

Decision Model and Notation (DMN) with Conformance Level 3 (CL3) empowers agile team to remain relevant and work based on their key values.

✨The purpose of DMN CL3 is to provide a model-based notation that is understandable by business stockholders who make decisions and technical teams who implement them into applications. DMN is especially relevant for organizations that need quick delivery in regulated environments.
