PiM: Building a new garden house (Qualitative Analysis)

The PROCESS-iMODELER factors are automatically weighted with 100 percent. Thus any influencing factor (e.g. incidents like rain and storm, illness of resources, etc.) along the process chain or chain of project steps can be analyzed in their effect from the Insight Matrix of the last factor from the chain as their effect is counted with 100 percent. Otherwise factors at the beginning of the chain would have minor effect on the last factor of the chain.

If you use quantitative attributes for the factors (from their properties window) you can use the position of them in the matrix to compare their potential effects and the size of the cycles to see for example their current state or their likelihood or whatever you define with their quantitative attributes.

Remember: you just compare the position on the horizontal axis. The position on the vertical axis just shows how the effects are going to change over time. Here you see the long term effect.
