Impact Mapping

Why?It is a key element of the map which answers the

questions: Why are we doing it? What is the purpose? This

element contains business objectives.

Who?

On the first branch we provide answers to questions: Who

can help us to gain results? Who can be an obstacle? Who

other interested parties which can affect business goals.

How?

stakeholders that we should do in order to achieve the

objectives. We are looking for answers: How will they help?

How to reduce their negative influence?

What?The third branch includes a task list. The typical questions

on this level: What must be done to create a necessary

impact?
