Elements – Decision

December 8th, 2009Elements

decisionAlmost every process involves making a decision. Decisions should be concisely phrased questions with two exit Edges, one labeled “Yes” and one labeled “No.” You can’t always follow this tip, but generally when you want multiple outcomes from a decision (such as “A,B,C” or “yes, no,maybe”) you can break that one decision down into multiple sequential decisions. Additionally, try to avoid putting metrics or other qualifying criteria in the Decision title. Save that for the Comments or Requirements area in the Decision’s Property Editor. As an example, “Bill Due?” is preferable to “Bill is due in the next 10 days?”.
