Decision management expert and author James Taylor will introduce the core concepts of DMN and show how it can be used to drive more effective requirements for BI, dashboard, and analytic projects. You'll also see a demo of DecisionsFirst Modeler (http://decisionsfirst.com/about/), a decision modeling tool to show how modeling decisions frames analytic requirements.
