Data Collection Plan

A clear, confidence-building roadmap for evaluation success

Our Data Collection Plan is a strategic product designed to bring clarity, alignment, and confidence to your evaluation process, before a single data point is collected.

Rather than treating data collection as a technical task, we frame it as a shared understanding. This plan clearly outlines what information will be gathered, when it will be gathered, and how it connects to your program goals, so everyone, from program staff to funders, knows what to expect and why it matters.

The Data Collection Plan serves as the foundation for both real-time learning and end-of-project impact reporting. It balances formative insights that support continuous improvement with summative evidence that demonstrates outcomes and value. Most importantly, it reduces uncertainty and cognitive load by translating evaluation requirements into an organized, accessible plan your team can trust and use.

This product is ideal for teams who want:

1. Transparency in the evaluation process
2. Alignment between activities, outcomes, and reporting
3. A structured yet flexible plan that supports learning, not just compliance
4. Confidence that data collection will meaningfully reflect program progress

With a data collection plan in place, evaluation becomes a tool for insight and decision-making, not a mystery or a last-minute scramble and stress.
