Decision Tree

A timeline representation used in planning projects subject to multiple outcomes. Wherever an event has several outcomes, the timeline branches into as many paths, each with a probability. The result is a proliferation of possible paths to completion, each representing an outcome, its financial implication, and its probability. Hence, the decision tree specifies a probability distribution for the project’s overall financial outcome.
