UX Design

What is a Decision Matrix

A Decision Matrix is a systematic evaluation tool that helps compare multiple options against weighted criteria to make informed design decisions. It provides a structured way to analyze and prioritize different solutions based on their relative importance and impact.

How to create a Decision Matrix

Follow these key steps:

  • Define Criteria: List evaluation factors with weighted importance
  • List Options: Identify all potential solutions
  • Score Each Option: Rate how well each option meets each criterion

When to use a Decision Matrix

Use this tool when facing complex decisions with multiple variables, such as choosing between design alternatives, prioritizing features, or selecting technology solutions. It's particularly valuable for team decision-making and stakeholder alignment.

Benefits of using a Decision Matrix

This method provides objective evaluation, reduces bias in decision-making, facilitates team discussion, and creates a documented rationale for decisions. It helps teams make more informed choices based on quantifiable criteria rather than gut feelings.
