DECISION MAKING
If then flowchart template.
An if then flowchart template turns a policy into a sequence of clear questions and actions. This example handles an incoming request by checking completeness, policy eligibility, and approval needs before notifying the requester. It helps teams apply the same rules even when different people handle the work.

CASE ANALYSIS
Scenario
Operations teams use this template to turn a repeatable request policy into consistent decisions.
Key decisions
- Each diamond asks one answerable question.
- No branches return to the missing-information check so incomplete requests are not lost.
- Both completion and decline end with a requester notification.
When to reuse this
Use it for conditional operational decisions with clear outcomes. Use a decision tree when comparing strategic choices rather than executing a process.
