ourDars: Decision Management
The ourDars application implements a Decision analysis and Resolution process that satisfies CMMI-DEV requirements for a formal decision resolution process (see CMMI-DEV DAR). It is intended as a shared enterprise application that automates the typical decision process used by the organization. It will ensure that:
  • Decisions, to be made, are well defined, and the decision process can be easily followed.
  • Roles involved in the decision process are clearly defined and managed.
  • Alternative solutions for the decisions are clearly defined.
  • Criteria for solution selections are defined.
  • The solution evaluation process ensures the decision criteria are used when evaluating alternative solutions.

As well, ourDars, will ensure that decisions get performed quickly, with quality and the minimum costs to the enterprise. This is enabled by the following technology:
  • Providing access to the decision process using web and mobile technologies.
  • Uses an Angular client configured as a PWA (Progressive Web Application). Capability to enable offline usage for mobile users. Material based UI to ensure a familiar and low friction user experience (see https://material.io/)
  • Roles managed and integrated with the enterprise security systems.
  • Realtime and interactive collaboration during the decision process.
  • Data managed centrally in the google cloud (No need to install on site). Uses firebase (see https://firebase.google.com/ ) technology stack that includes no SQL firestore database , “serverless infrastructure”, supporting google services for authentication, hosting, cloud functions and monitoring. Enterprise should create their own firebase instance to host their ourDars instance securely and privately.
  • Opensource (The application is opensource see ourDars on GITHUB ). Users can take the source code and modify and extend as they see fit. There are no usage restrictions.
  • Consulting services are available to get ourDars setup and running for your enterprise. Once setup it is expected that enterprises will be able to easily manage there own ourDars instance.
