Create a yes/no flowchart template for decision making
About the framework
New Project? starts a sequence of three diamonds: Aligns with goals?, Have capacity?, and Budget available? Three Yes answers reach Accept Project. A No leads respectively to Decline, Defer to Next Q, or Request Funding.
The actual drawing contains three decision checkpoints, although the source introduction says two. There are eight nodes overall. Deferral and funding requests are drawn as actions without a route back to intake, so the chart does not yet show a later reconsideration.
Adapt the questions to your intake policy and define what qualifies as a Yes. Add a review date or funding outcome if a deferred project can return for another decision.

Frequently asked questions
There are three: goal alignment, available capacity, and available budget. Each has labeled Yes and No branches.
No. Request Funding is the end of that drawn branch. Add a funding decision and its outcomes to show what happens next.
Yes. The example already uses Decline for poor goal alignment and Defer to Next Q for insufficient capacity. Change those labels to match your intake policy.
