PMI Chart

The Plusses, Minuses and Interesting/Implications (PMI) chart helps students organise their evaluation of an issue, compare advantages and disadvantages, and make decisions. In the Plus column students enter all the positive elements of the issue. In the Minus column enter all the negative elements of the issue. In the 3rd column enter the elements that cannot be classified precisely as postive or negative (Interesting) or list potential outcomes (Implications). A scoring system can be added to this chart to inform decision making.
