Mission Diagram Recipes

Mission diagrams visualize the big picture of actionable steps toward your goals. The emphasis of the diagrams is what to do and the sequence in which the creators believe those actions can be taken. A foundational principle of the approach is also that these diagrams can be altered easily so they cut through fog rather than succumb to it.
