“Create an if then flowchart for handling a request: check required information, check policy eligibility, decide whether manager approval is needed, complete or decline the request, and notify the requester.”
Read the decisions behind it.
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.
Use it for conditional operational decisions with clear outcomes. Use a decision tree when comparing strategic choices rather than executing a process.
