Software to Support Program Evaluation by Laura Quinn of Idealware | Community Techknowledge: Defining Your Evaluation Process

Program evaluation is not primarily a technology issue.

How can it be effectively measured? Which data points will you actually use, and what will be most helpful in truly understanding what’s working? No matter how powerful it is, software can’t help with evaluation until you’ve defined the process that will be most effective for your organization.
