PJM6125 Project Evaluation: Selecting Evaluation Tools
Overview and Rationale
For this assignment, you will be selecting evaluation tools and adding those selected to the
Evaluation Goal Matrix that you developed as part of the previous assignment.
Program and Course Outcomes
This assignment is directly linked to the following key learning outcomes from the course
syllabus:
LO3: Analyze and apply appropriate evaluation tool
L07: Plan and conduct a tactical evaluation using both qualitative and quantitative
measures
In addition to these key learning outcomes, you will also have the opportunity to evidence
the following skills through completing this assignment:
Critical thinking
Problem solving
Essential Components & Instructions
Using the project you identified in Lesson 1 and the stakeholder analysis and performance
metrics you identified as part of Lesson 2, you will be selecting evaluation tools and adding
them to your Evaluation Goal Matrix from Lesson 2.
Begin by updating your Evaluation Goal Matrix with any feedback provided, and then add
an additional column titled ‘Evaluation Tool’ and select an evaluation tool for each of the
metrics you identified during Lesson 2. Therefore, you will identify a minimum of one
evaluation tool for each of the entries in your evaluation goal matrix.
Once you identify the tools that you will use, write a few paragraphs on how each tool will
be used, why the tool was selected, who will be responsible for performing the evaluation
with the tool and how the data will be used and will help support the success of the project.
These entries can be made below your updated evaluation goal matrix. You should provide
a thorough evaluation and explanation of each tool you list in your updated evaluation goal
matrix. You may wish to use materials from the lesson, readings, and external sources in
writing the explanations. However, be sure to cite any sources that you use in writing the
explanations.
Format
Below are some key guidelines you will want to ensure you follow. Think of this short list
as a quality control checklist, along with the attached grading rubric.
Be sure you have identified at least one tool per goal in your matrix
You may use a tool to assess multiple goals if it is appropriate; if you do this, make sure
in your explanation that you provide sufficient detail to address all the goals the tool
addresses
You should submit an updated Evaluation Goal Matrix and the narrative descriptive and
explanation of each tool in a single file (MsWord or )
You should include a cover page
You should provide a brief abstract about the process you went through to develop your
two tables.
You should provide a project summary of your project
You should format the documents professionally
The tables should be readable without having to zoom in on small text
