How Business Analysts Build Executable Decision Models Using DMN Without Programming
Presented by: Jacob Feldman
The recently introduced OMG standard “Decision Model and Notation” (DMN) promises to bring standardization to business decision modeling with a strong orientation to business analysts as people who are supposed to create, test, and maintain operational decision models. DMN offers standardized formats for decision requirement diagrams and various decision tables which business analysts love to use in real-world decision modeling. However, the current DMN version also includes many programming constructs which complicate the acceptance of the standard by business analysts. In this presentation we will analyze such DMN constructs and suggest how to replace many of them with commonly used decision tables. We will use examples of practical decision models to demonstrate how to use DMN while avoiding programming.
Learning Objectives:
- Analyzing business-friendly and not so friendly DMN constructs
- Proposing replacements for not business-friendly DMN constructs
- Using practical examples of complex decision models yet avoiding programming
