Program/Project Design and Evaluation​
​
Data plays a crucial role in determining whether project goals are truly attainable. However, project designers often overlook specific data and analytical requirements during planning, assuming the necessary data will miraculously emerge over the course of a project. Neglecting to establish precise data requirements at the outset can lead to serious ramifications, including project failure and financial and reputational losses. Moreover, a project's lack of data requirements often results in the absence of a robust means to measure the project's success or quantify the project's ROI.
