[Tex/LaTex] Tikz flow chart and beamer

beamertikz-pgf

I am creating a beamer presentation. I have following tikz flow chart. The problem is the chart appears to be cluttered and is not accomodated on a single slide.

Here is the code

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{beamer}

As John wickerson commented, your flow graph is a tree. forest is a package designed to easily type and draw this kind of trees. But, because this tree is to large to fit inside a frame you can use \resizebox command to adjust it to your slide.
