there other resources available explaining them that don't require a

these things usually have particular language definitons which if not

that Logic does not mean philosophical or computer logic but some

Looks like my talk at Flock didn't get recorded properly. I did a blog
post a little while back —

It's basically a planning tool which helps one articulate the resources
and activities needed to reach a particular goal. It's nice because it
can be read in either direction: you can go from a high-level mission
statement and see it as a breakdown of what it'll take to get there.
Or, you can look at your inputs and see their logical connection to the
goal.
"Logic" here is somewhat similar in meaning to computer logic — not
boolean arithmetic, but a series of "iff-then" statements.
You can see a practical example here:
