Frequently Asked Questions

A decision tree is a graphical representation that starts with a central idea (root node) and branches out to show what happens when you make different decisions.


The graphical elements of a decision tree allow you to create a step-by-step plan and add minor details. So once you pick a specific path, you can already know how it will end.

A decision tree has four parts:

  • Root node: Where the tree begins.
  • Decision nodes: Possible routes to solve your problem. 
  • Leaf nodes: Possible outcomes of your decisions.
  • Branches: Arrows that connect each node.

You can analyze a decision tree in four steps:

  • Identify the root node, your main problem or idea, and write it at the top of the flowchart.
  • Flesh out your decision tree and ensure each decision eventually hits an endpoint.
  • Calculate the risks and rewards. Crunch the numbers to determine how much each decision will likely cost you.
  • Evaluate the outcomes and determine the best decision based on how much risk you're willing to take.

It's absolutely free. Just enter your contact details and download the template. That's it.

Yes, you can. Replace the information on the decision tree with details about your business.
