IDEO - Define Your Indicators

The team works from its Logic Model to decide what to measure: process indicators for whether the solution is delivered as planned, outcome indicators for whether it works. You leave with a short, specific list of indicators to build a measurement plan on.

Participants will define measurable indicators. They'll also create tracking systems and accountability measures. This ensures alignment with funder requirements.
A prioritised list of process and outcome indicators, each specific enough to collect, including any your funder requires.
Include both quantitative and qualitative indicators. User stories are powerful. Keep the number of indicators manageable. Too many can be overwhelming. Teams tend to list plenty of process indicators, because activity is easy to count, and leave the outcomes thin. Before step 5, check that every outcome in the Logic Model has at least one indicator. Invite whoever runs monitoring and evaluation. To run it remotely, share a document with a table of Logic Model item, indicator and how it's collected, and fill it in together on a video call.
