Measurement indicators are quantifiable parts of your result area. Applied to your performance, you are able to see how well you are doing. Brainstorm a number of measurement indicators for each result area, then select the one reflects your intent and is easiest to employ. This is the amount of time in which you want to reach your performance standards. The time frame is usually determined for you by the funding source.
Most grants are for twelve months.
Use months one through twelve, rather than names, because you seldom get to start the grant when you expect to. This is the amount of money that represents the cost of the methods or activities you have selected as your approach to meet the objective. The cost estimate is obtained from the planning document you will fill out next. This stage combines the data you have generated in the previous five steps. If not, the chances are that your measurement indicator is wrong or your performance standards are too low.
