What an objective tree is
“The Logical Framework Approach (LFA) is a methodology mainly used for designing, monitoring, and evaluating international development projects. Variations of this tool are known as Goal Oriented Project Planning (GOPP) or Objectives Oriented Project Planning (OOPP).”
Types of goal tree
When to use an objective tree
New project
Turn each problem into the change you want to see, then plan the project around those changes.
Planning
Read it from the bottom up: if these actions happen, the changes above them follow.
Cause and effect
Draw it next to a problem tree: each cause there becomes an aim here.
