What Is an Influence Diagram?
An influence diagram is used to represent the summary of information of a decision tree. It shows variables that are known and unknown when making a decision and understand the connection that exists among them.
How to Create an Influence Diagram?
- Open a Creately workspace and add relevant stakeholders as collaborators to develop your influence diagram.
- Enable the relevant shape library and start creating your influence diagram as you conduct the analysis. Alternatively, you can select a premade influence diagram template to get a headstart.
- First, identify the outcome or the objective and decompose it into independent variables that directly determine it.
- Continue to decompose each variable until no variable is left. The idea is to keep adding variables until there are outcomes that, in the future, could be measured, and, in the present, can be estimated.
