project-artifacts's Introduction

Path Analysis Resources

So you've been assigned to work on a path analysis. Congratulations! These short, eight-week projects are designed to better define a partner's problem, understand the current state, and come up with a path forward. They're different from projects where we're trying to figure out how to build a thing. The purpose of a path analysis is to answer what's going on and what should the partner do next.

We've written up specifics on how to run a path analysis.

Check out the previous path analysis projects.

Templates

These templates are internal tools, and access is limited to 18F staff.

If the primary goal of your Path Analysis is to help partners address a specific problem, you may prefer to use Path Analysis Report Template 1 (make a copy first!). This is a flexible template, with space for findings and recommendations.
If the primary goal is to deliver a complete, holistic strategy to address a broader need, this template may be a better fit: Path Analysis Report Template 2 (make a copy first!) This template uses an Objectives and Key Results (OKR) structure to emphasize high-level strategic objectives and key success metrics while complementing them with lower-level tactical activities. It also organizes findings into higher-level and lower-level findings.
