Overview

Map out complex decisions and their outcomes visually with this decision tree mind map template. By branching from a central decision point through conditions and consequences, decision trees make it easy to communicate logic, evaluate options, and document decision-making frameworks for teams and stakeholders.

Key Features

• Root decision node with branching condition paths
• Yes/No and multi-option branch structures
• Outcome nodes at each terminal branch
• Color-coded paths for different decision routes
• Probability or weight annotation zones for quantitative decision analysis

How to Use

1. Write the central decision or question in the root node using the Text tool or Mind Map tool
2. Add first-level branches for each possible choice or condition — press Tab in the Mind Map tool to add child nodes, or use shapes with connectors
3. Continue branching until each path reaches a terminal outcome — label each outcome with a result description and any relevant data
4. Color-code paths using the fill options to distinguish high-value, low-risk, or preferred routes
5. Add probability annotations or weighted scores next to branch nodes using the Text tool for quantitative analysis

Benefits

Decision trees turn subjective judgment calls into structured, shareable logic. When the reasoning is visible, it's easier to challenge, improve, and apply consistently across your team.
