Guidance: Morning SessionKey Q: What went well & less well in our application of OM?

Process:– Sit together in teams: India & Moz – Discuss the five KQs and prepare responses (30-40 mins)

• What went well in your application of OM (data collection, management, analysis, use, etc.)?

• What went less well?• What did you do to meet the problems/issues that arose?• What did you do to take advantage of any positive experiences with

OM?• What have you learned about applying OM in imGoats?

Three Key Qs: We’ll take them one at a time

KQ1: Considering the full set of progress markers for each boundary partner, how much progress has there been towards intended outcomes? Process: • 20 mins max to prepare your findings and display them

on flip charts (for each boundary partner. • 15-20 mins to visit the display of the other team and

ask questions• Team members take it in turns to stay with your flip

charts and explain/respond questions of visitors

Guidance: Afternoon Session

KQ2: How relevant were your PMs? Process: • Using the computer, carry out an analysis for

each BP: highlighting the relevant/useful PMs in green; the irrelevant PMs in red; and identify any PMs that you feel should have been part of the set. (20 mins)

• Present your analysis (20 mins per team including Q&A)

• Haile: Observations, comments, feedback

Guidance: Afternoon Session
