What a tree chart is.
A tree chart shows one root item branching into connected child items. Each branch represents a parent-child, category-subcategory or contains relationship, depending on what you are mapping.
Tree charts are useful when every item has one clear place in a structure. Start with the root, add major branches, then add detail only where it helps the reader find or understand something.
