Opportunity Solution Tree Template

This template is inspired by the Opportunity Solution Tree framework that provides a visual way to organize your opportunities and their potential solutions. It is especially useful when you have several opportunities and need to decide which of them to pursue and which solution to choose for each opportunity.

In this template, on the first level, you have Opportunities. Each opportunity can have one or more potential outcomes. The second level in the tree includes Solutions for each Opportunity. Each solution can have several possible types. The third level is Types. You can use them to group solutions, for example, by the risk level, or by the time each solution will take to implement.

This template is perfect for high-level thinking, brainstorming, and strategic planning. You can use it for any kind of product or startup or even in marketing to organize your ideas and strategic plans.

Use case

  1. Decide what opportunities to pursue based on their potential outcomes
  2. Choose the best solution for each opportunity based on the potential outcomes and the solution types
  3. Create a visual representation and strategic plan in a few clicks

Structure

This template consists of 3 databases: Opportunity, Solution, and Type.

🌱 Opportunity

Create a new opportunity for each idea that you want to pursue. Each opportunity should have some potential outcomes (probably, you're already working on some of them but don't know yet what will be the results).

The potential outcomes for the opportunity are Success, Failure, and TBD. These - as everything in Fibery - are free to change.

You can also add some additional fields to the opportunity database: for example, what is the status and progress for the opportunity, who's responsible, and what is the expected value.

🌳 Solution

For each opportunity, add several potential solutions. Each solution can have several possible types.

You can use solutions to group your work or to help you figure out how to approach your opportunity.

🌼 Type

Add several types and use them to group solutions. For example, some solutions can be quick wins, while others - longer-term projects. Or some solutions can be low risk, while others can be high risk.

Simple visual representation

Automatically create a visual representation of your tree with a few clicks to help you understand where to focus your effort and resources.
