This prediction is closed and has been judged.
On the day Yahoo's board appointed Carol Bartz the new chief executive, Yahoo president Sue Decker announced she will resign after 8 1/2 years at the company. However, Decker remains with the tarnished Internet portal "for a transitional period."
As Bartz gets more comfortable with the purple-loving landscape, she'll likely push out the old guard and replace folks like Decker with her own team.
Prediction: Yahoo president Sue Decker leaves Yahoo by April 25, 2009.

In situations like this, it most likely to be sooner rather than later. So, a window of 3 months+ seems reasonable, IMHO.
Revolving Door of Ex-Yahoo Execs Continues to Spin, a string of former Yahoo executives are landing important jobs at rival companies. Yahoo veteran Susan Decker, who is to be leaving the company after a "transitional period" is sure to be gone by the end of April.
According to AllThingsDigital, Yahoo management is set to be revamped as early as this week. Looks like Ms. Decker's departure will be sooner rather than later.
She's still listed as president on Yahoo management page.
How exactly is this going to be determined? Bio page on yahoo.com?
Something trustworthy like bio page or news reports. Yahoo keeps the management page pretty up-to-date.
She's not listed on management bio page. Judge early?
@Resveratrol Buy Cheap Miracle Drug (or whatever your name of the week is :) ) I'm in your camp.
More evidence

indicates an April 1 departure.
Surprised no one found this earlier. 10-K was filed in February!!!

On January 13, 2009, we announced that Jerry Yang had stepped down as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and returned to his former role as Chief Yahoo and that Carol Bartz had been appointed as our new CEO. Mr. Yang continues to serve on our Board, and on January 13, 2009, our Board was expanded from 11 to 12 directors and Ms. Bartz was appointed as a director. On January 13, 2009, we announced that Sue Decker indicated she would resign after a transition period. Ms. Decker’s date of resignation will be April 1, 2009. On February 26, 2009, we announced that Blake Jorgensen, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, will be leaving
Judged. She is no longer listed on Yahoo's management page, but I was unable to determine what she is doing now, other than serving on the boards of several companies.
