Create a Fault Tree Book a Demo

A fault tree diagram is a visual tool used to identify and analyze the causes of system failures. It starts with an undesired event (the “top event”) and breaks it down into contributing causes. By mapping the relationships between different events and failures, fault tree diagrams help teams understand vulnerabilities, improve system reliability, and prevent risks. They are widely used in engineering, safety, manufacturing, IT, and other fields where reliability is critical.

How to Create a Fault Tree Diagram Using Creately

Open a Fault Tree Diagram Template

Launch Creately and choose a prebuilt fault tree diagram template to get started quickly. You can also start with a blank canvas and use the fault tree diagram maker’s shape library to build your own from scratch.

Define the Top Event

Add the undesired or failure event at the top of your diagram. This represents the main issue you want to analyze and break down into possible causes.

Add Causes and Events

Drag and drop fault tree symbols to connect basic events, intermediate events, and contributing causes to your top event. Build a clear structure that shows how different factors are linked.

Collaborate with Your Team

Invite your team to co-create the diagram in real time. Use comments, sticky notes, and the notes panel to add supporting documents, links, screenshots, and other references, making collaboration seamless and contextual.

Review, Update, and Share

Refine your diagram with formatting tools to make it clear and professional. Then export it as PNG, JPEG, PDF, or SVG, or share securely via link or embed it in wikis and reports for easy access.
