− | Overall the content of the page is good. I would suggest the following:
| |
− |
| |
− | 1. At the start of the page, add some content on Right decisions, Wrong decisions and Bad decisions. When you use good decision making techniques, there is always a risk that further information will become available that will turn what you thought was a Right decision into a Wrong decision, but if you don't analyse the problem and ignore the information that could have been brought to bear, you have made a Bad decision. The information on this page is to help you avoid making Bad decisions.

− | 2. There is some good information on Decision Making in Wikipedia - not just on Decision Making Software. I would suggest adding a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_making
| |
− |
| |
− | 3. There is also some good information on Decision Making on the Mind Tools website, http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTED_00.htm

| |
− | 4. Would it also be worth mentioning the ethics of decision making? My particular favorite reference is to William Kingdon Clifford's "The Ethics of Belief", which is summarized nicely in:
| |
− | DeMarco, T and Lister, T; "Waltzing with Bears: Managing Risks on Software Projects", ISBN 0-932633-60-9, Dorset House, 2003
| |
− |
| |
− | The original reference to Clifford's work is:
| |
− | Clifford, W; "The Ethics of Belief, Part 1 - The Duty of Inquiry", Contemporary Review, January 1877
| |

| |
− | 5. The section above the first diagram, on Fact Based Judgment, says "This will be discussed in more detail in section 6.6.4" - where is section 6.6.4? I would suggest adding some material here, along the lines of: " Fact Based Judgment. This is the most common situation. The diagram below shows the process that is followed to make fact-based judgments. Much good information is available in the INCOSE Systems Engineering Handbook (section 5.3 in Version 3.2) on the Decision Management Process, which uses Fact Based Judgment."

− | Alice (review): This article is quite mature and perhaps should be an example for how the articles need to be written. No changes needed.
