Benetech Miradi

Benetech Miradi is an adaptive management software that is a joint venture of Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP) and Benetech. It provides the tools needed by the project teams to manage, monitor, design and even learn from their conservation projects. It features a step-by-step interview mode that presents users with a series of wizards that will guide them through a structured process. This process creates project management, monitoring and implementation plans that are based on CMP Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation. But experiences users can skip this process and go directly to diagrams, or other view on the bottom of the page. After the series of questions, users are presented with a Conceptual Diagram which is also called a conceptual model, shows a visual overview, in a flowchart format, of the project's situation. It also shows specific conservation targets linked to direct threats and strategies to counter threats. This software will guide users in determining direct threats through a process of rating them. Users will have to answer questions on topics pertaining to the scope and severity of threat and the software will use scoring algorithms for ranking in order to know which one requires priority. It also features Viability Analysis that assesses conservation targets and determines how to measure their health, this will help users in knowing which of their targets need attention immediately. Users can develop the specific goals and objectives of their projects in the Strategic Planning View, which helps in identifying and prioritizing monitoring indicators that measures the conservation targets' status and the effectiveness of their strategies. The Work Plan and Budget Views converts the user's strategic and monitoring plans into a series of tasks that will be assigned to various project team members. Miradi is still being developed to have more features for its users. The developers have presented their plans on their Web site to show their customers what they envision Miradi will be in the future.
