Contents
There are many types of decision models / tools that help describe processes. These are:
-
Decision Trees
-
Outcome Analysis (related to reviews or stages)
-
Decisions modelled in Activity Diagrams related to a process.
-
Log of decisions and rationalle
-
Others....
Note: These activity models also need to provide a way to identify a "System Interaction Point".
Languages, Notations, Conventions
Some tools have decision tree models others can be embedded in Activity Diagrams
Methods - Create, Analysis, Identify
See the procedures for each type of models / diagram being produced.
Modelling Techniques
methods and techniques
These decision analysis approaches need to be in line with Decision Analysis found in ISO 15288.
