Creating a Measurement Plan
To measure progress toward our goal(s) on at least an annual basis, we need a base
line that we identify or can gather now to tell us our current situation on this measure. In order to know the
progress we've made toward our goal, we need to know where we started. Base line data are the initial evidence
we have as to where we are now, so that, when we measure a second, third and fourth time, we can see if our action
is actually moving us toward our goal.
