Rapid cycle evaluation

Rapid cycle evaluation is a method used to quickly assess the effectiveness of a program or intervention by collecting and analyzing data in short, iterative cycles. This approach allows organizations to identify what’s working and what’s not in real-time, making it possible to make timely adjustments. By continuously refining strategies based on immediate feedback, rapid cycle evaluation helps improve outcomes efficiently without waiting for long-term results. It’s commonly used in healthcare, education, and social services to enhance decision-making and ensure resources are used effectively.
