This document provides guidance on using impact mapping in different contexts. It discusses four contexts for impact mapping: reframing a problem, setting a vision, focusing delivery of known objectives, and changing a business. For each context, it provides tips on preparing for the first session, facilitating impact mapping, documenting the outcome, executing the plan, and bonus tips. The overall guidance is aimed at tailoring impact mapping to different situations depending on whether objectives are clear, solutions are prescribed, or a new direction is needed.
