Evaluation and Program Planning is a bimonthly peer-reviewed multidisciplinary social science journal covering program evaluation.It was established in 1974 by Jonathan A. Morell and Eugenie Walsh Flaherty and originally published by Pergamon Press. [1]
Planning a program evaluation can be broken up into four parts: focusing the evaluation, collecting the information, using the information, and managing the evaluation. [28] Program evaluation involves reflecting on questions about evaluation purpose, what questions are necessary to ask, and what will be done with information gathered.
The program evaluation and review technique (PERT) is a statistical tool used in project management, which was designed to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a given project.

[1] [2] [3] More specifically, an evaluation is theory-driven if it: [4]
DSRP has been used to apply systems thinking to the fields of evaluation and program planning, including a National Science Foundation-funded initiative to evaluate of large-scale science, technology, engineering, and math education programs, [17] as well as evaluations of the complexity science education programs of the Santa Fe Institute. [18]
The CIPP framework was developed as a means of linking evaluation with program decision-making.It aims to provide an analytic and rational basis for program decision-making, based on a cycle of planning, structuring, implementing and reviewing and revising decisions, each examined through a different aspect of evaluation –context, input, process and product evaluation.
