Lint Status Zensical Render Status License Issues

This repository holds the source of a work artifact published as an AMWA Increment (IN) from the Advanced Media Workflow Association

What does it do?

  • Captures eleven business-oriented user stories covering financial models, deployment options, production tiers, scaling, licensing, portability, and other concerns for Dynamic Media Facilities (DMFs).
  • Provides common terminology, reference diagrams, and examples such as rate cards to support business discussions about DMF adoption and operation.

Why does it matter?

  • DMF decisions involve more than technical capability: cost, risk, staffing, licensing, support, scalability, and the value of a production all affect the appropriate solution.
  • A shared set of business perspectives helps technical teams, vendors, producers, and executives compare options and make better-informed deployment decisions.

How does it work?

  • Describes each user story using a role, desired function, business value, objective, and unique requirements.
  • Examines the financial and technical trade-offs between platforms, production tiers, resource models, and lifecycle options, including how solutions can scale, migrate, or be shut down.
