Lesson Learned

Once an evaluation methodology is agreed on in an Evaluation Design Report, the full Evaluation Management Committee must communicate continuously to ensure the design is preserved.

Once an evaluation methodology is agreed on in an Evaluation Design Report, the full Evaluation Management Committee must communicate continuously to ensure the design is preserved. As detailed above, the project looked to invest in new areas with its cost-savings, and chose areas that were designated “controls” for the evaluation. The evaluation team learned about this decision just in time – it was very nearly too late. Communications should be clear and continuous to ensure the “too late” scenario does not occur, and MCC investments in the agreed evaluation approach are preserved.
