I had to facilitate a couple of workshops in the last couple of days where impact mapping would potentially prove to be a good tool to drive the discussion (and for one of them it did). I have done a number of impact maps over the years but often in the heat of the moment I have a memory blank on what order the map goes in or how best to describe what each of the stages are. So today I knocked together a pocket cheat sheet for me to refer to if I needed it:

Depending on the workshop often depends whether I use the classic mind map style or just use a left to right grid using post-it notes.
