Impact Mapping: Connect Goals to Deliverables

We're excited to announce Impact Mapping diagrams alongside important performance improvements for large diagram projects.

Strategic Planning Made Visual

Whether defining project scope, aligning stakeholders, or ensuring deliverables connect to business objectives, Impact Mapping provides the visual clarity teams need for strategic decision-making.

Bridge the gap between high-level business goals and specific development tasks with clear visual hierarchy and logical flow.
