Reporting Summary

If you are working with an external evaluator, having a written monitoring plan gives you leverage and documentation to effectively manage the business relationship with your contractor. The contract itself usually serves this role. If your evaluation is internally conducted, the monitoring plan may be more perfunctory, since it is likely you already have working relationships and standards within your organization. Even so, a plan can be helpful in that it puts into writing any expectations that are specific to your evaluation.
