You can wait for program evaluation planning to evolve, or you can join the revolution with DoView!
You can build a DoView visual evaluation plan in 1/2 the time it takes to build a traditional text-based narrative evaluation plan, and what's more you can go on to use it to control all aspects of implementing your evaluation.

Build your evaluation plans faster
Busy stakeholders haven't got time to waste, so it's important that when they sit down to read an evaluation plan, they 'get it' immediately. Unlike the text-based systems, DoView's visual evaluation planning approach lets you develop your evaluation plan in a visual environment based around a program logic model that stakeholders can just 'see'.
With DoView, your decision-maker and stakeholder evaluation planning meetings will be incredibly efficient, but more importantly, stakeholders will actually feel that they've been consulted on evaluation planning.
Control your evaluation implementation with the visual plan
Once your DoView evaluation plan has been approved, you can use all the work you've done to control all aspects of your evaluation implementation. Keeping it up to date is easy with DoView's 'living document', and you can link out from the DoView file to relevant files on your computer as well as reporting back to stakeholders on progress. (Send them the DoView file, a PDF or put up a web page version on your intranet or the internet).
One of the most difficult facets of managing an evaluation plan is when key staff leave, and up until now such a departure could have disastrous consequences. With DoView, however - bringing in new evaluation people is easy, they simply open the DoView visual evaluation plan, and discover that everything they need to know is waiting for them.
Be more effective and efficient
Think what you could do with extra time in your day, because one of the best things about DoView is that it effectively puts time back on your side. Not only is it much faster to set up a visual evaluation plan than to wordsmith a 100 page text-based evaluation plan, you can also use your DoView visual evaluation plan to make all your presentations about your evaluation planning. So you don't need to go to the trouble of preparing separate presentations on your evaluation - just use the DoView file, and save time by amending it in real-time as decisions are made in team or stakeholder meetings.

Ask yourself
1. Have you spent weeks painstakingly writing a text-based evaluation plan with the knowledge that stakeholders have not read through all of your work?
2. Once your evaluation plan has been approved, have you put it aside when you start implementing the evaluation only to develop another set of documents, presentations and other files to control the evaluation implementation?
3. Have you had to either hand over an evaluation in progress to another staff member, or had one handed over to you which consisted of numerous files - wishing you could have handed over one master file which sets out the whole evaluation plan and has links out to all the relevant documentation?
If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions you owe it to yourself to try out DoView.
