When to use
When you have a solution about to be released to the world.
Why you should
To understand what measurements are right for you and your solution and what approach to take to reach the goals faster.
What you get
Clear indicators of how and what to measure.
Steps to take
Download worksheet from link below or draw one.
Fill your indicators into the worksheet, and work through the columns to determine how your data will be collected and used later.
You might find that you need to adjust some indicators based on what data you can feasibly collect. Remember too that outcomes can take time, so set realistic timelines for when certain results can practically be observed.
Now is a good time to assess wether your team is the best suited to lead the monitoring and evaluation in practice. You may need to hire more specialised team to run more advanced measurement approaches, suck as surveys or experiments.
Update and refine your framework as you iterate upon your solution or data and evidence needs change.
