Abstract

The first subject discussed is about how I would make a decision by a step process. Then I go on to talking about one of the biggest decisions I have made in my life. The second subject discussed is the source I used to research on how decisions are made. The source gave me a step by step process to making a decision. The last subject discussed is the persistent document and when it is necessary to be used. Also explaining what the persistent document is in my own words and how it is important.

Analysis of Good Decisions and Documentation

Decisions made by Me

The question asks me how I would make a decision. The first step I would take would be gathering all the information I need to even consider the possible outcomes or solution. This includes information that might not even be important to making the solution. After I gather all the information and I would continue to write down all the sources. The reason is because if something is misunderstood or questionable I have a source to fall back on in case. For example, if I had a document that had a sentence that was misunderstanding and needed changed or clarified. I could call or get a hold of the source of the sentence to clarify and get the better understanding of it. The consequences of not writing down the source would be not being able to clarify the sentence which would be important to solving the problem. The next step I would do is going through and getting rid of any information and sources that are no longer needed. Even though it felt important when first gathering the information it could be useless...
