To RAID or not to RAID?
A few weeks ago
I was assisting a project manager with a troubled project. We reviewed
the documentation from the beginning, starting with the usual suspects: project
design, work plans, schedule just to mention a few. They all seemed
fairly straightforward and understandable. Once we got to the status
reporting though, confusion started. This project’s status reports were
spreadsheets about 10 pages long. Every week the team was only able to
discuss only about 3 pages’ worth of information, and they were mostly risks. “Why is this so long, what’s in it?” I asked him. He answered
that it was his RAID Log, which he used to run Status Meetings. He wanted to be
certain not to miss anything, so he was careful to include every item related
to the project and classify it as R (risk); A (action); I (issue) or D
(dependency) in this giant spreadsheet. As the first section was ‘Risks’ they
were certainly addressed. So, most of the discussion in his weekly status
meeting was about events tha…
What is a Significant Success Story?
A success story shows an organization or
individual making a difference in people’s lives. It describes a positive
change and shows how that change benefits the people of a given area of
intervention.
A great success story applies the use of evidence to show the value of our interventions in terms measurable changes in knowledge, skills, motivation, behavior, decision making, practices, policies, social action, social, economic and environmental conditions that derive from a cause-and-effect relationship.
You can write a success story about an entire project, program or part of a program (i.e. activity) that is particularly noteworthy and significant in terms of results and its impacts. It may be about an innovation, emergency response or outstanding effort. Whatever you choose to write about, your story should show your intervention making a difference in targeted areas.

Tips & Tricks: Organizational Strategic Planning
A strategic plan also known as a Road Map in reality is a living
document which directs the overall functioning of any Organization.
Strategic planning is important, but at the same time can be a complex issue especially for new and small organizations. Looking at the NGO sector, one may find that many NGOs do not have well drafted strategic plans and the few NGOs that have the plans are written in a very complex way – not comprehensible by the communities they serve. These are either too lengthy or too complicated to implement and are therefore not put into use.
What better way to describe the importance of planning in our day to day lives. Successful people or entities plan their actions and work tirelessly & endlessly to stick to their plan; while the not so successful people or entities, plan a lot but hardly ever implement the plan to the letter. The key to success is therefore not just having a plan but also executing it to achieve your goals and objectives.
