A driver tree is a hierarchical model showing cause-and-effect between business metrics. Learn how it compares to a KPI tree.
A driver tree is a hierarchical decomposition model that maps the cause-and-effect relationships between business metrics. The term is often used interchangeably with 'KPI tree' and 'metrics tree.' The key distinction: while 'KPI tree' emphasizes strategic performance indicators, 'driver tree' emphasizes the causal mechanism, what drives what. Both use the same structure: a root metric decomposed into mathematical components.
