In addition, the matrix is designed to capture the evaluation of services provided: 5) indicator or measurement of change; 6) source of measurement; and 7) how frequently it is measured. A separate PROGRAM OUTCOMES AND ACTIVITIES MATRIX needs to be completed for each outcome. Use a separate row for each activity and group activities under their related outcomes. To add more rows, if needed, simply locate the cursor at the last cell in the last row and press the "TAB" button on the keyboard. See examples provided in the instructions . IMPORTANT NOTE: Keep in mind when developing PROGRAM OUTCOMES that, if funded, these will be what you are accountable to accomplish. Also, the PROGRAM OUTCOMES should reflect the information described in the PROGRAM NEED STATEMENT (B . 1 .). All PROGRAM NEED STATEMENTS should flow from the MISSION & VISION. MEASURABLE OUTCOMES should be based on and measure program needs. Activities are the tasks you do to influence the outcome and impact the unacceptable condition in your PROGRAM NEED STATEMENT.
