Second part RBM Flashcards
What does waterfall method consists of?
- Requirements
- design
- implementation
- testing
- final product
- maintenance
what are the values of Agile method?
- Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
- Working product over comprehensive documentation
- Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
- Responding to change over following a plan
What are the agile principles?
- highest priority: satisfy the customer
- embrace change, even if introduced late in development
- continue to deliver functioning software incrementally and frequently
- daily work together
- trust motivated individuals to get the job done
- promote face-to-face conversation
- primary measure of progress: concentrate on getting software to work
- encourage continuos, regular and sustainable development
- adopt agility with attention to mindful design
- support sefl-organizing teams simplicity
11/ self organazing teams - team regulary reflects on how to become more effective
what are the advantages of agile method?
customer involvement
Favors evolution
risk assessment
rapid delivery
what are the disadvantages of agile method?
not suitable method for all projects
requires all human resources at the same time
new methodology of project management
sprints should be short and effective
what is agile methodology?
there is no agile methodology. agile principles can be based on few methods: SCRUM, DSDM and FDD
what are 4 principles of PDIA (problem driven iterative adaptation)
- local solutions for local problems
- pushing problem driven deviance
- try, learn, iterate, adapt
- scale through diffusion
what is the interactive process of PDIA?
- INitial problem analysis
- indetify action steps.
- take action
- check-in
- sustain authority and legitimacy
(if problem solved exit) - adapt and interate
(follow to step 2)
an strategy for action or public policy (inputs and outputs) should be:
- technically correct
- administratively implementable
- Politically feasible
Design space where do we get ideas from?
1/ Existing practice
2. latent practice
3. positive deviance
4. external best practice
what is the design thinking?
a user-centered approach to problem solving
what are the key elements of design thinking?
1/ people centered
2. highly creative
3. hands-on
4. Iterative
what are key steps in design thinking?
- enpathize
- define
- ideate
- prototype
- test
what is a monitoring?
an ongoing reporting. Ongoing activity, focus on reporting implementation of activities and interim results (outputs) according to work plans.
what is evaluation?
a periodic assessment and analysis/ Periodic activity, focus on assessing progress towards higher level results and on analysis of contributing or hindering factors.
what are key steps in the evaluation process?
- planning
- scoping
- operational
- follow up and use
what is a time period of an evaluation?
- usual time period is one year
- mid-term evaluations may look at shorter periods
- impact evaluations may look at longer periods
types of evaluation:
Purpose: formative and summative
Who: external evaluation, self evaluation, joint evaluation
when: midterm, end of phase, final, ex-post
approach: process evaluation, impact evaluation, meta evaluation
what are the key UNEG norms?
- credibility
- independece
- impartiality
- ethics
why is it important to involve stakeholders?
- knowledge about evaluation subject
- diverse perspectives
- gather more reliable information
- builds trust
- helps to identify key issues and evaluation more useful
- stakeholders may have influence on evaluation subject
- supporter of evaluation
- learning opportunity
roles and responsibilities of evaluation manager?
planning and preparing an evaluation
interaction with primary users of evaluation
Ensuring that evaluation principles and standard are integrated
ensuring that evaluation is implemented according to agreed plan
quality assurance of process and deliverables
dessiminating the evaluation report
follow up
what is the role of evaluator or evaluation team?
interact with evaluation manager and stakeholders
refining methodology
collecting and analysing data
drafting evaluation report
what is the role of the project manager
submitting infrmation with evaluation manager
prviding suggestions on the evaluation approach, type, methodology
whtar are key evaluation critria
relevance, effectivness, efficiency, impact, sustainability
what does ToR includes?
purpose of the evaluation
evaluation scope
objectives
evaluation criteria and key evaluation questions
methodology for data collection and analysis
expected deliverables
evaluation process and timeline
potential use of the evaluation
what does the evaluation report should include?
objective and purpose
evaluation questions methodology and limitations
findings and evidence base
conclusions
recommendations
lessons learned
what is evaluation design matrix?
a cental tool for evaluation, a summary of the evaluation methodology in table format and shows evaluation queations, methods, what data will be collected
what are the data collection methods?
online survey, direct observation, document review, interviews, focus groups
what are the data analysis method?
content analysis, portfolio analysis, descripitive statistics, comparative analysis
what is meant by triangulation
a quation is likely yo have different answers depending on whom you ask
it reduce the risk of bias in any one tuype of data
provides insight s from different perspectives
checks out potential explanations for what has been found
provides information about different aspects of KEQ
what is the explanatory sequntial design
collect quantitative data in first plhase, analyse results, and then use the results to plan the second qualitative phase
what is convergent design
collects and analyses quantitative and qualitative data separately but then integrate the results together
