Decision Intelligence Roles and User Stories Standard
Effective collaboration requires a shared language. The OpenDI Roles and User Stories standard provides standardized terminology for decision-makers, system builders, and stakeholders throughout the DI development lifecycle.
Why This Standard Matters
When building DI systems, teams include diverse participants: business leaders, data scientists, domain experts, software engineers, and end users. Without common terminology, miscommunication leads to failed implementations, wasted resources, and solutions that don't address real needs.
Standard Components
Decision-Maker Roles
  • Strategic Decision Makers
  • Operational Decision Makers
  • Tactical Decision Makers
  • Analytical Support Roles
System Builder Roles
  • DI Architects
  • Model Engineers
  • Data Integration Specialists
  • Simulation Developers
  • User Experience Designers
User Story Framework
Standardized templates for capturing requirements, including:
1
Decision context and constraints
2
Information needs and sources
3
Success criteria and metrics
4
Stakeholder impact assessment
Technical Details
