Case Study: Communicating project goals with logic models
GUIDE CASE STUDY: A logic model can clearly and concisely communicate your project’s goals, objectives, resources, and outcomes to the larger team and your stakeholders. The Our Coast, Our Future project team developed a logic model so that the stakeholders they had engaged in the process could see how the project fit into the complex and dynamic coastal management situation in California.

Case Study: Project team changes

GUIDE CASE STUDY: During the second year of their project, a team based at the Wells Research Reserve suffered the tragic loss of the lead science investigator. This individual had served as the Reserve's research coordinator for many years and possessed a deep reservoir of scientific knowledge about the local ecosystems on which the project was focused. In addition to the intense emotional impact, the loss of a respected researcher and team member posed a significant challenge to the project.
