Enterprise patterns: Make Your Logic Obvious (MYLO)

This pattern is an underlining approach for several other enterprise patterns mentioned in the blog. It recommends making the decision logic as explicit as possible before approaching the decision itself. The logic must be understandable by all stakeholders of this decision. They should be able to execute this logic. So the logic will take the decision - not you. Thus explicit logic acts as a “lubricator”.

Different techniques may be used:

• decision tables (as in http://improving-bpm-systems.blogspot.com/2011/12/enterprise-pattern-cloud-ready.html) , 
• diagrams (as in http://improving-bpm-systems.blogspot.com/2012/06/writing-it-strategy-from-business.html),  
• rules (as in http://improving-bpm-systems.blogspot.com/2011/10/enterprise-pattern-structuring-it.html), 
• principles, 
• etc.
