Type the Impact

There are five types of impact, namely "improve", "maintain", "cease", "extend" and "introduce". Consequently, there are five types of change goals. The colors are those of the corresponding change goals used in the EKD-Goal graph editor

The type "improve" shall be used when there is no need to drastically change the current goal but rather to perform some improvements that lead to increase the efficiency of the current practices.

The type "maintain" shall be used when there is no need to change the current goal but to keep it as it is.

The type "cease" shall be used when there is a need to withdraw a current goal that is considered to be no longer beneficial for the enterprise.

The type "extend" shall be used when the current goal is still valid but there is a need to enlarge its scope (e.g.. to add a new functionality, etc.).

The type "introduce" shall be used when a goal is totally new to the enterprise with regard to its current goals.
