3.1.2 ANALYSIS OF OBJECTIVES Flashcards

desired future situation and often transforms (problems into objectives)
Objectives should be
positive statements
(positive mirror image of the problem tree)
CER relations become
‘means-to-ends’ relations
The objective tree can be
modified
Relations between objectives should be
Reviewed +reorganised
as necessary
(keeping the logic
and the hierarchy)
Some objectives may be
unrealistic
so alternatives to
tackle the problem need to be found
or
the attempt has to be abandoned
