V·I·S·A is feature-rich - originally created in 1986, the software has been under constant development ever since.
Standard Edition Features
- Value Tree
- Construct a clearly structured tree to show all the influencing criteria to the main decision.
- Easy to add and delete criteria and manage tree shape.
- Alternatives
- Create any number of decision Alternatives.
- Customize the words used for key items (e.g. perhaps "Alternatives" is not the best phrase and you prefer to call them "Our next office").
- Weights
- Set or change scores and weights numerically or by dragging bars on charts to easily set the value of each alterative on each criteria.
- Use different weighting methodologies. Weight by families of criteria, or across the entire base of the value tree. Force all weights to add to 100%, or allow free weighting (with appropriate adjustment as weights combine up the tree).
- Interactive Display
- Display a huge variety of charts to analyze and visualize the data and relationships in different ways.
- Print any of the displays.
- Visual Interactive features allows criteria to be instantly added, connected, disconnect and re-arranged as discussions take place.
