What is a simple decision matrix primarily used for?
Creating a spreadsheet
Making decisions by evaluating options against criteria
Analyzing potential errors in a process
Calculating priorities for action plans
In a decision matrix, what are criteria?
Restrictions
The options available
Factors used to evaluate options
Units of measurement
What is the final step in the decision matrix process?
Identifying decision criteria
Evaluating options against criteria
Putting a 1 or 2 beside the design choice you are using
Choosing the option with the best total score
What is the first step in creating a decision matrix?
identify all the choices you are picking from
identify the criteria you are using
give a weight to each of the categories
identify a scoring criteria (like a scale from 1-5)
What should you do after you have listed your design choices on the decision matrix form?
identify all the choices you are picking from
identify the criteria you are using
give a weight to each of the categories
identify a scoring criteria (like a scale from 1-5)
What should you do next when creating a decision matrix after you have written your design choices, and you have chosen and written your criteria & constraints on the form?
identify all the choices or designs you are picking from
Identify and write the criteria and constraints you are using on the top of the decision matrix.
Write a 1 for no and 2 for yes in the right margin beside total.
Start scoring criteria and constraints by using a scale from 1 to 4.
How do you determine which design you should use?
The design with the highest score is the winner
The design with the lowest score is the winner
The design with the score closest to the base is the winner
Make sure you decide the best choice before adding anything up.

A. Criteria
B. Constraints
C. Client name
D. Design name
