Tools to assist value-driven design & decisions
Project description
Tools for Value-Driven Design
Tools intended to help with modelling decisions in a value centric design process. The intent is to keep this as generic as possible, as some of this decision modelling is suited to generic decision-making, non-design activities with a little massaging.
Features
- Concept Design Analysis (CODA) method implementation
- Requirements weighting with a Binary Weighting Matrix
- Programmatic or Spreadsheet based model creation (via Excel workbooks or Google Sheets).
Install
pip install vdd
Documentation
Currently just stored in the repo.
Roadmap
- Model sets for comparative work (rather than a single set of characteristic parameter values)
- Improved visualisation
- Export CODA models to Excel template
- House of Quality style requirement/characteristic weighting
- Pandas everywhere (v1.x)
