This can be in the form of surveys, focus groups, use of data and research, interviews etc. This formal needs assessment can also be complemented by informal means.
Plan (including aims and objectives)	Did not show evidence of planning	The project or initiative is planned in an informal way with aims and objectives partially or incompletely defined. The planning process should be documented in some form.	The project or initiative is planned formally with aims and objectives fully defined. This should include: • Developing an implementation plan reflecting the needs identified • Establishing goals and objectives for the initiative, ideally following a framework like SMART goals • Agree budget and resource allocation with senior management (where necessary) • Agree timelines, inputs, activities and how you will measure outputs. What will success look like? • Communicate details of the plan with the relevant stakeholders The extent to which this process is followed depends on the initiative's size and complexity.
Implement (methodologies)	Did not show evidence of implementation	The project or initiative is partially or incompletely implemented. The actions completed should be documented in some form.	The project or initiative is completely implemented. This should include: • Actions have been recorded. • Responsible people have been identified. • A communication plan has been established. • Any challenges are identified and/or managed. • Any budget needs to be managed (if applicable). The extent to which this process is followed depends on the initiative's size and complexity.
Evaluate (methodologies)	Did not show evidence of evaluation	The project or initiative is partially or incompletely evaluated. As with the needs assessment, it is possible to informally evaluate your project or initiative. The process can be evaluated by asking people what they thought, getting verbal feedback, reflecting on your own learnings and then looking at how the project can be improved for the future.	The project or initiative is completely evaluated. There are many ways to evaluate projects or initiatives and should include evaluating the “what” (which are the outcomes) and/or the “how” (which is the process). Evaluating the “what”: • The comprehensive benefits of the initiative are measured and demonstrated. • Information is fed back for continuous improvement of quality and efficiency & effectiveness the project or initiative. • Progress is measured. Evaluating the “how”: • The satisfaction of participants is evaluated using questionnaires or surveys. • The team running the initiative performs reviews or debriefings. The extent to which this process is followed depends on the initiative's size and complexity.
