Assignment #3:

Calculating Risk & Feasibility


Instructions: The third step in evaluating a program requires us to investigate whether we should pursue this
particular evaluation. At one level, there are risks that could prevent us from doing an adequate job. Identify
those. At another level, there are concerns whether this program is ready to be evaluated. In completing this
assignment, you can forecast likely problems that may emerge.

Feasibility Categories*
Directions: Identify key questions that were not addressed in your risk matrix. Then, identify what you found based on that
feasibility and risk question.

Focus: Assess Feasibility and Risk Factors

Question Your Finding

Does the program have sufficient historical data or


user feedback to facilitate an evaluation? There is limited mention of data collection or past evaluations.
This may require additional effort to obtain user feedback and
operational data from Recreational Services or directly from
participants.

Are stakeholders willing and available to participate in While stakeholders are likely willing to participate, their
the evaluation process? availability could be limited due to other commitments. This
may require careful planning and early engagement to ensure
cooperation.

Is there enough time allocated for data collection and Time constraints might arise, especially if coordination with
analysis? stakeholders or scheduling for data collection takes longer than
anticipated. A detailed project plan with buffer time will be
crucial for success.
