Here is a simple checklist to help you determine your readiness to undertake an evaluation. While it may seem daunting to have all these factors in place before you start, not everything on this list is essential. Some factors are more important than others in terms of readiness. The checklist outlines what you ‘need to have’ and what is ‘nice to have.’ Taking stock of your readiness allows you to customize your evaluation plan in a way that works for you.
