Project background● Four states (MA, ME, NH, VT) came together in 2005
(first plans in system for 2007)
● Triggered by federal reporting requirements change, but that was just a floor
● Seven states (+ CO, DE, MI) currently using the system

Why planning?
Planning is a critical organizational and individual activity to ensure focus on stakeholder needs.
● Organizational coordination● Accountability● Prioritization
![Page 5: How web-based planning and reporting increased timely impact reporting and sharing Extension’s success with constituents](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/546fae98af7959a40a8b463d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Why reporting?
Reporting lets us know what actually happened (often quite different from what was planned)
● Accountability● Evaluation● Communication with stakeholders
![Page 6: How web-based planning and reporting increased timely impact reporting and sharing Extension’s success with constituents](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/546fae98af7959a40a8b463d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
A virtuous circle
Logic ModelPlanning and
ReportingSystem
Groups and individuals work together to assess situation, needs, etc. and develop plans and programming to address. Define evaluation measures.
Individuals “buy-in” to plans, customize, and report on what they actually do. Use data for accountability, program development, communicating with stakeholders.
Information is shared with decision makers, funders, stakeholders to communicate the activities and impacts of Extension
Information is used by groups and individuals to assess impacts, modify plans, refine evaluation measures, determine impact, set priorities.

Benefits / Products of system
● Logic Model view of plans● Meets individual needs● Meets team / group / project needs● Stakeholder reporting● Data for visualizations

Commodity groups or participant types are searchable (left). Report shows number and what programming is reaching a particular audience.

Why have one system?
A single, centralized system allows for:● Aggregated data● Single source of info● Workflow rules● Awareness● Communicate with stakeholders● Transparency
![Page 21: How web-based planning and reporting increased timely impact reporting and sharing Extension’s success with constituents](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051513/546fae98af7959a40a8b463d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Outside the system
Having a central planning and reporting system still requires:● Communication and coordination outside of
the system● Raw data needs to be converted to
digestible format● Organizational culture

What we’ve learned
DO:● Provide appropriate technical support and
around effective planning and reporting● Be creative to engage users in looking at the
