When to use it

• Use it when planning, to break down a task into manageable and assignable units.
• Use it when investigating a problem, to discover the detailed component parts of any complex topic.
• Use it only when the problem can be broken down in a hierarchical manner.
• Use it, rather than a Relations Diagram, to break down a problem when the problem is hierarchical in nature.
