Decision Table

Improve your decision making at work or at home. With Decision Table you can build complex decisions in a transparent and clear format that stimulates discussion and reduces biases.

Define a limited number of discrete decision outcomes (scenarios), and the criteria (factors) by which you will judge each of these scenarios. Use a mix of qualitative and quantitative criteria to capture how your values and metrics map to the decision options, and optionally highlight the recommended decision.

Decision Table is a great tool for individuals and teams to capture in one place the range of options and influences discussed around important decisions and an easy way to bring that decision to the decision taker(s), if different.

ALSO ON MAC
Decision Table is available in near-identical format on Mac, iPad and iPhone. On smaller devices the decision matrix can be scrolled or zoomed to maintain readability. All versions read the same file format, using Apple's familiar file/document manager on each platform, meaning files can be accessed from common repositories such iCloud etc. from different devices, or by other users with appropriate permissions.
