A matrix approach
Tends to show linkages
Narrative
Categorizing indicators according to the goals towards which they are
measuring progress is very helpful in showing linkages. The matrix above is
part of a larger matrix developed by the Roundtable of the Province of
Alberta, Canada. The matrix shows graphically how the different indicators
measure progress toward multiple goals. This framework makes it
easier to see the links among the different facets of the community.
