The Decision Management Community is an open practitioner community for people who design, build, operate, study, and improve decision systems.
Our focus is practical: how organizations turn data, knowledge, models, uncertainty, and business objectives into repeatable decisions that work in the real world.
What we mean by Decision Management
Decision Management is the discipline of treating decisions as things that can be explicitly designed, modeled, tested, measured, governed, and improved.
That can involve business rules and decision tables, Decision Model and Notation (DMN), machine learning, optimization, simulation, probabilistic methods, agentic AI, or combinations of these approaches. The technology matters, but the decision comes first: what action is being chosen, under what information and uncertainty, and toward what objective?
What this community is for
This is a place to exchange useful material across disciplines that too often live in separate silos. Business analysts, operations researchers, data scientists, software engineers, architects, product leaders, consultants, academics, technology vendors, and end users all have something to contribute to the same underlying problem: making better decisions at scale.
The community maintains practical resources including:
- DecisionCAMP and other community events
- Challenges for hands-on decision modeling and problem solving
- Decision models, tools, books, case studies, and learning resources
- Articles, Q&A, and news from practitioners and researchers
- Vendor’s Corner for relevant product and ecosystem announcements
How we operate
The community is practitioner-led, vendor-inclusive, and independently maintained. Vendors are welcome to participate, sponsor the community, and share relevant announcements, but sponsorship does not determine editorial content or community guidance.
The site is open to contributions. Most content is maintained in a public GitHub repository, making it possible for community members to propose additions, corrections, new resources, and improvements directly.
An Advisory Board helps bring perspective from across the Decision Management ecosystem, while the broader community remains deliberately open to people working with different methods, technologies, industries, and points of view.
Participate
You do not need a formal role to contribute. Share a useful model, submit a challenge, add a tool or event, propose a book, contribute an article, improve an existing page, or join the discussion.
