Project Management, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Impact Assessment Using MS Project and KoboToolbox Training Course
Development and corporate projects often run their schedules in one place, their indicators in another and their field data on paper, which makes it hard to see whether money is producing results. Across fifteen days you bring these strands together, starting with the project lifecycle, stakeholder analysis, problem and objective trees, and results frameworks and logframes with SMART indicators. MS Project sessions cover project setup, work breakdown structures, task dependencies, critical path, resource assignment, levelling, baselines and cost tracking. You then monitor progress with earned value and variance analysis, and design M&E plans, indicator reference sheets and data flow arrangements.
The KoboToolbox phase covers building digital forms with skip logic and validation, deploying them on phones and tablets, managing submissions and exporting clean data for analysis. Later sessions address baseline, midline and endline surveys, evaluation designs, impact assessment approaches and turning findings into reports and adaptive management decisions. The extended format allows a capstone in which participants plan a project in MS Project, build its data collection tools and present an M&E framework. Project managers, M&E officers, programme coordinators and data officers in NGOs, government and donor-funded projects will leave with an integrated, digital toolkit.
About this course
This practical and interactive training focuses on strengthening participants' ability to manage projects, monitor performance, evaluate outcomes, and assess impacts using MS Project and KoboToolbox. The course combines project planning, scheduling, monitoring systems design, digital data collection, analysis, reporting, and impact evaluation methodologies. Participants will gain hands-on experience through practical exercises and project-based assignments.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from technology organizations, digital transformation programmes, data-driven enterprises, and public sector IT environments, examining how project management, monitoring, evaluation, and impact assessment using MS project and kobotoolbox is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for managing project variances., interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
