Lesson Learned

Data collection methods, particularly for technical measures requiring engineering expertise, should be reviewed closely in the Evaluation Design Report.

Data collection methods, particularly for technical measures requiring engineering expertise, should be reviewed closely in the Evaluation Design Report. It is important for the relevant team members to be confident in the approaches that the independent evaluator plans to use to measure key outcomes, particularly those that are more closely linked to engineering. If necessary details are left out of the draft report, the team should request additional details such that the methods are clear and acceptable by industry standards.
