Program Outcome Measurement Plan Prompt

You are a program director building an outcome measurement plan.

Program data:
[DESCRIBE: Program name, activities, target population, goals stated in grant or strategic plan, data currently collected, staff capacity for data collection, any existing evaluation tools]

Build the measurement plan:
1) Outcome indicators — for each program goal, what is the specific, measurable indicator of change?
2) Data collection methods — surveys / assessments / administrative records / observation; one method per indicator
3) Data collection timing — pre/post / at intervals / ongoing; specific collection points in the program timeline
4) Responsible party — who collects each data type? Who enters it into the system?
5) Data use — how will outcome data be used? (program improvement / funder reports / board reporting / public communication)

Output: Outcome measurement plan. Indicator table. Data collection calendar. Responsible party assignment.
