About Impact Mapping

Impact Mapping creates a mind-map connecting a business goal to the actors who influence it, the behaviour changes needed, and the deliverables that enable those changes.

•Every deliverable must trace to an actor behaviour change that moves the goal

•Identify all actors who can help or hinder the goal, not just end users

•Each branch is an assumption: deliverable → impact → goal contribution

•Prioritise by testing the riskiest assumptions first
