Comments, Issues and Decisions

Support the Decision Process

Architecture is a process in which many decisions must be made, after all the architecture is a future blueprint. To support the decision process, Dragon1 offers functionality to add Comments, Actions, Issues, and Decisions in every Entity Class, Model, Relationship, and Visualization.

All information needed to make a solid decision is presented in a Management section, which can be found on the detail view of the Entity Class, Model, Relationship, or Visualization.
