What does DoView do?
DoView equips you with a visual tool to clarity your high-level outcomes, to show you the steps you need to achieve them, and to see whether or not you're on track.
Who's using DoView?
It's used by program staff, strategic planners, evaluators, performance managers, contract managers and many others. DoView is increasingly being used by a range of different organizations involved in health, welfare and the environment, and in a range of sectors including government, philanthropy, not-for-profit and for-profit. See Easier outcomes and strategic plans, Easier program logic models and Easier evaluation planning.
Is DoView for you?
Do you and your stakeholders want to get clear about your outcomes? If your job involves drawing and formatting outcomes models and program logic models then DoView is for you. If you find yourself cramming models into one small page, or leaving out important links because lines don't always fit, then DoView is for you. If your final models are unreadable when projected, then DoView is definitely for you.
More about DoView
DoView is the fast, easy to use modeling software designed specifically for building professional outcomes models (program logic models). Take five minutes to try DoView, we're confident that you will be building fantastic models in no time at all.
Because DoView is designed by focusing on the needs of the person using the tool, simple command settings and large icons allow you to confidently build and edit models in real-time when using a dataprojector in live meetings.
DoView cares!
DoView is the modeling software with a social conscience! Under the DoView Donor Program, with every unit of DoView soft, we make a copy available to an international aid and development program which cannot afford the software. If you're an international aid and development program apply here.
DoView and outcomes models (program logic models)
The outcomes models which DoView helps you build are increasingly being used in a range of outcomes management areas (strategic planning, performance management, program evaluation, evidence-based practice and outcomes-focused contracting). Such diagrams are different from traditional 'flow-diagrams' and require specialist software such as DoView so that you can draw them quickly and work with them effectively. Think of DoView as the world's first 'outcomes processor'. The models which DoView has been designed to draw are 'cause and effect' models which show the lower-level steps that are necessary to achieve higher-level outcomes. Names for these types of models include: logic models, program logics, intervention logics, ends-means diagrams, strategy maps, program theories, theories of change, results chains, fishbone diagrams, logframes, and Ishikawa diagrams.
Many users have moved to DoView after trying to work with traditional drawing software or normal office software because the previous software they've been using is not specifically designed for building usable outcomes models. Analyzing real user-needs has determined the way we've designed DoView. DoView's simple command set and large icons allow you to confidently build and edit models in real-time when using a dataprojector in a team or stakeholder meeting. This puts the visualized outcomes model at the heart of all of your team and stakeholder deliberations. You can fully document all the links in your model even where you cannot fit line and arrow links drawn across a diagram.
When you build a DoView model using DoView's compact page format you can be assured it will work on screen, when dataprojected, on paper and as a web page version of the model (easily produced from within DoView). We're progressively allocating aspects of the formating palette (forts, line color, texture, shading, borders etc) to represent different aspects of the underlying outcomes model you are wanting to build.
