6. Knowing Your Audience
Stakeholder: one who is involved in or effected by a course of action
Who are your stakeholders?
For each group of stakeholders, consider:
How do they like to receive information?
What types of information would interest them? Do they tend to be data-driven or story-driven?
Are there any barriers to receiving information that need to be taken into account? (e.g. reading levels, language, etc.)
Actually have them write this down

7. Knowing Your Data What story will you tell with your data?
What pieces of data should be highlighted?
Look for data that illustrates something interesting, demonstrates change, or points to a need that should be addressed by future programs
Don’t be afraid to share if a portion of the program didn’t work
What pieces of data are not helpful or confusing?
