I have spent the last few years working with friends and colleagues on DecisionAutomation.org - a multi-vendor organization dedicated to documenting decision automation best practices. A key focus of this organization has been on how best to use decision modeling with the Decision Model and Notation standard (see this set of blog posts on decision modeling for more). OMG, the organization that runs the standard, doesn't allow "methodology" in its standards so there's a clear role for a best practices organization.

To help you adopt decision modeling effectively, DAO identified multiple ways you might want to use DMN. Each uses different pieces of the standard and needs different software support. To make it easy to identify what will work for you, we built a great tool we call the Interactive Usage Scenario tool that lets you identify what you are trying to achieve and see which elements of DMN and which software features in a DMN tool will help you be successful.

You first pick a business path such as transformation through technology, people development or focusing on a specific target use case - and then pick one of the core scenarios for decision modeling - anything from a simple decision inventory to detailed decision definitions to deployable decision services. The tool then identifies DMN and software capabilities you will need across decision requirements diagrams, model support, decision logic and KPIs, interpretability, implementation and terminology management. It will show you what's needed, what's helpful and what's optional.
