Quick summary
A decision matrix in Coda lets you compare multiple options against weighted criteria inside a structured table, making complex decisions faster and more transparent. This guide walks you through creating a blank Coda doc, naming it, inserting a table, and populating it with criteria columns, option rows, and decision notes.
Steps
- Click + Blank doc in Coda to create a new document for your decision matrix.
- Give your document a descriptive name such as "Project Decision Matrix".
- Click the + icon inside the document to add a new element.
- Select Table from the menu — this becomes the foundation of your decision matrix.
- Structure your table by adding columns for each criterion, such as cost, time, and impact.
- Add your options as rows — these are the alternatives you are evaluating.
- Include notes or weights for each criterion to clarify your decision-making process.
