Bring key people together at each stage of planning process
Administration, program directors and supervisor participation is critical in early stages, but direct care staff can be helpful too (ask questions!)
Project Planning 101:
![Page 13: Know how a data management project can help: Improve program design Demonstrate effectiveness Highlight the best work being done Compete for.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a990e550346761a8b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Initial planning stages require a deep understanding of the resources (funding, technology/equipment, and staff time) required to plan, implement and maintain a data management project/data driven culture.

It may be worthwhile to invest in a consultant or devote substantial administrative time to produce useful estimates of the time and cost involved in implementing and maintaining a data driven culture

Understand the purpose of your project - what will this data do for your organization?
Identify data priorities
Plan to start small and efficiently – you can grow as you learn and achieve - look for the intersection of what data you can easily obtain and what you would want to know in an ideal world! (go to flip chart )
Planning Guidelines
![Page 16: Know how a data management project can help: Improve program design Demonstrate effectiveness Highlight the best work being done Compete for.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a990e550346761a8b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
As you move into more detailed planning, direct care staff input becomes extremely important.
Involve staff in a formal way and carefully assess what support they will need to succeed!
Design formal systems for Training, Support and Accountability
Staff Commitment & Support
![Page 17: Know how a data management project can help: Improve program design Demonstrate effectiveness Highlight the best work being done Compete for.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a990e550346761a8b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Reports/data you already need for funders
Identify information for internal evaluation and improvement (even if it isn’t currently required by funders)
Develop a functional draft of outcomes, objectives and indicators (your dataset) prior to shopping for a database or building a data collection system
Gather the Information You Need to Get Started
![Page 18: Know how a data management project can help: Improve program design Demonstrate effectiveness Highlight the best work being done Compete for.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a990e550346761a8b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Objectives = desired participant changes or achievements
Indicators = measurable events
Outcomes = level of achievement

Levels of Learning Mastery
◦Knowledge/Comprehension (learn about it)
◦Application (use it, try it out)
◦Synthesis (integrate with other knowledge)
Bloom’s Taxonomy
![Page 23: Know how a data management project can help: Improve program design Demonstrate effectiveness Highlight the best work being done Compete for.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a990e550346761a8b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Specific Measurable Achievable Relevant Timely
Indicators Should be SMART
![Page 24: Know how a data management project can help: Improve program design Demonstrate effectiveness Highlight the best work being done Compete for.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a990e550346761a8b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Use active verbs to describe indicators
Look for achievement opportunities at levels that are relevant to the services, time frame or intervention level of your program
Indicators reflect participant capacity for positive change and choices that indicate forward movement
Indicators are Activity or Behavior Based (observable)
![Page 25: Know how a data management project can help: Improve program design Demonstrate effectiveness Highlight the best work being done Compete for.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070307/551a990e550346761a8b5c0f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Web/Cloud Based◦ Require reliable, high speed internet connection(s)◦ Each user has own license – can access from anywhere◦ Easy to monitor data entry◦ Evaluate capability and cost of compilation, sorting and
reporting◦ Carefully evaluate ownership of data and “worst-case
scenarios” (e.g., you or the provider go out of business?)
PC-Based◦ You own software and data that is on your computer◦ Speed depends on speed of machine◦ May require additional software to run the database◦ Can be difficult to synchronize data from multiple
sources.◦ Ease of data retrieval depends a lot on initial design and
software used.

1. Surveys: Useful to capture information from participants You have to ask the right question(s). That takes planning
and some experimentation to gather aggregateable data. Results can be compiled in Excel – but consider using
Survey Monkey where you can get reports and export to excel.
2. Microsoft Access: Good for demographic data and tracking objectives and
indicator completion – data that changes or needs to be cross-referenced.
Inexpensive, but requires expertise to develop functional applications
Easy to retrieve data through queries

3. Daily Logs (paper or software)◦ Most useful if data is aggregated and entered into
a database or spreadsheet regularly (daily, weekly or monthly)
◦ Like surveys, the right questions have to be asked to get useful, accessible information
◦ With proper planning, could be used to track a variety of participant achievements.
4. Exit interviews!◦ Build some of the questions to have
aggregateable answers (e.g., multiple choice, name at least one xxx, etc.)
