iDecide+
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
A professional decision modeling tool for the iPhone & iPod touch (note: requires OS 3.0)
What people are saying about iDecide+
- must let you know that you've got a wonderful tool that is cleanly implemented
- I am using it right now to prioritize potential projects to expand my piano studio business, and it has helped me tremendously
- This is an example of how a decision matrix process can help integrate the “left brain” and “right brain” elements in decision making. The process brings all of that together, so I feel less conflicted because ALL of my perspectives on the issue have a chance to be heard and fairly evaluated.
Based on the advanced decision making methodology of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), iDecide+ is a decision modeling application that can be used to:
1. Select the best choice from among a number of alternatives
2. Prioritize multiple alternatives from a prioritized decision criteria
3. Evaluate Yes/No types of decisions
The decision criteria (or objectives) are entered and prioritized using a comparative analysis method called pair-wise comparison. Each alternative is then ranked against the weighted decision criteria using one of a number of custom ratings. iDecide+ prioritizes the alternatives and identifies a winner, i.e. that alternative that best meets the decision criteria/objectives.
When costs are assigned to the alternatives, iDecide+ also identifies the "best value" (best bang for the buck) alternative.
Other options such as a measure of consistency, adding a photo to each alternative, showing the Ideal (best case) alternative allows the user to rapidly evaluate complex decisions with an easy-to-use interface.
iDecide+ comes with a "what-if" explore function to graphically analyze the impact of a decision by changing the priorities on the weighted decision criteria. In addition, you can share your decision-models with other iDecide+ users or to fastworks Excel-based decisionAccelerator.
