Easy-Build Interactive Decision Trees For Excel

What is an interactive decision tree?

 An interactive decision tree is a dynamic tool that helps users make decisions by guiding them, step-by-step, through a choose-your-own-adventure style process. As such, the user can navigate different potential courses of action, without becoming overwhelmed or overloaded with information. 

Interactive decision trees are more effective for the user than traditional decision tree diagrams, as they provide a more dynamic, and engaging, decision-making experience. Users begin at the root node, and move through the tree by making sequential decisions, choosing the best option from the information provided. This information is displayed in what are known as “leaf nodes”: These leaf nodes can contain any manner of information; such as a text box, image, or data entry option, and are connected by branches that represent the different courses a user could take moving through the tree.
