Decision matrix is an essential part of an organization. It is defined as a chart that assists
in systematic analysis, rating of strength and identification of information. It is essential when
dealing with large numbers of factors and at the same time examining the importance of each
factor. Decision making in an organization is not easy as many factors have to be put into
consideration. Decision matrix has made it easier as it provides simple answers that assist in
making sure the best decision is made, putting all factors into consideration.
Alternative to be Considered
This decision matrix will be used in examining three proposed designs alternatives. The
alternatives are A, B, C. architectural decision is the design decision that assist in addressing the
architecturally important requirements. The decisions in architecture and design are considered
hard and complicated to change and make.

In this study, we list all the alternatives labels as rows on the table and the factors to be
considered are listed in the column. The decision matrix shows this case has been provided. Each
factor here has to be scored with a scale from 0-5. 0 represents poor while 5 represents very
good. It is then important to recognize the most value found in the alternatives or the important
factor in the decision. This can be represented from 0-5. Where 0 shows not an important as far
as final decision is considered while 5 shows a certain decision is important as far as final
decision is concerned.

After the assignment of weights of importance to all the alternatives, the next process
consists of multiplication of the scores by the score value of each alternative calculated. By
adding up the scores of each alternative, the weighted score is determined. The opinion scoring
highest in this case is considered the best alternative.
The use of decision matrix through weighing up the different factors help in shaping the
decision process. By identifying an important factor based on each alternative followed by

provide a better direction to good alternatives that can be used. Company’s interest should be
considered with the best alternative. The chart provides the best alternatives that can be adopted.
From this chart, alternative C has the highest score of 52 and thus it is considered the best
alternative. It is very important to often consider all the factors and determine the import ones to
decrease and remove any kinds of compromise.
