In the excitement of starting a new project, program, or service it can be easy to just jump right in and begin, but when time comes for renewals and funding there is a scramble to build a case for your successes. Don’t stress! Make your project stand out from the crowd. Building assessments into your project from the beginning doesn’t have to be complicated and has both ongoing and long-term benefits.
