Claim One:
1. A method of organizing received decision instances based on reference architecture, comprising: determining by a computing system a respective particular project phase attribute for each of the decision instances; classifying by a computing system the decision instances in accordance with each of the respective particular project phase attributes thereof; determining by a computing system a respective scope attribute for each of the decision instances in each set of decision instances classified in accordance with each of the respective particular project phase attributes; categorizing by a computing system the decision instances in accordance with each of the respective scope attributes thereof; for all decision instances with the same categorization and with the same classification, ordering, by the computing system, the corresponding decision instances by model elements to which each applicable decision instance refers; modeling, by the computing system, directed links between apparently dependent decision instances, whose apparent dependencies are derived from the reference architecture; analyzing, by the computing system, the dependent decision instances to confirm that the decision instances satisfy the apparent dependencies represented by the directed links and producing an error message if a result of the analysis is negative; and generating, by the computing system, a real-time updateable or modifiable to-do list as a graphical user interface in which the classified, categorized and ordered decision instances are displayed and represented along with corresponding directed links.
