Thoughts on describing results chains in graphs, including versioning.

1. Tom Zeppenfeldt Ophileon
(:GRAPH) - [:DESCRIBES] -> (:RESULTSCHAIN)

2.  A graph is the most generic of data
structures, capable of elegantly
representing any kind of data in a highly
accessible way.

3.  A results chain is a tool that shows how a
project team believes a particular action it
takes will lead to some desired result.

4. (:RESULTSCHAIN) with transition nodes
Activity Output Outcome Impact
 As a linking point to attach transition indicators for monitoring
 As a way to keep historic versions of a results chain
 Each transition between steps of the results chain is split up into
(:STEP) – [:TS] -> (:TRANSITION) – [:TE] -> (:STEP)
TS TE TS TE TS TE
