Quantitative survey questions
Responses to these questions by developers and key stakeholders (i.e. funders, end-users) will be used to quantify the relative ‘success’ of projects within the same funding call.
The questions shall relate to the following success metrics:
- Technical performance (i.e. the quality of the end product)
- Efficiency of execution (i.e. was it delivered on time and within budget)
- Personal growth (i.e. the benefits perceived by individual developers)
- Stakeholder satisfaction
NB: Some of these questions can be answered from open data sources.
- How much funding did the project receive? (from data)
- Over what time scale was the project funded? (from data)
- How would you describe the initial deadline imposed on this project? (e.g. hard, soft)
- How would you rate the completeness of the project at the initial deadline?
- Was the initial budget met?
- Were the outputs and/or production processes different from those anticipated by the initial budget?
- To what extent would you say the project deliverables met the acceptance criteria? (i.e. how closely did they meet some predefined requirements)
- How would you rate the quality of the deliverables relative to what you initially set out to achieve?
- (Stakeholders only) How would you rate your satisfaction with the project outcomes?
- (Developers only) How would you evaluate the learning which resulted from your involvement on this project?
- (Developers only) How would you rate the impact of this project on your professional development?
