What Is an Impact Map?

The impact map is used in strategy planning. Structures like a mind map, it visualizes the scope of a business initiative and underlying assumptions.

How to Create an Impact Map?

  • Gather your team and stakeholders to define and describe your business goals. Make sure that your goals adhere to the SMART criteria.
  • Identify your customers, their needs, challenges, problems etc. and create user personas. Creating separate personas will help you find the right deliverables.
  • Figure out the actions you want your customers to take if you are to achieve the goal you identified earlier. Describe how you want them to behave, and add these actions to the impact section.
  • Understand what you can do to enable your customers to take these actions. This could be adding new features to your product or service, introducing a new product or service etc.
  • Analyze the impact map you have made. With the information you have collected, you will be able to create relevant user story maps.
  • Using the Creately Viewer, you can embed the diagrams you have created in company wikis, websites or your intranet.
