ABSTRACT
If one thinks linearly about program development, planning and evaluation occupy the first and last points in that process. Planning identifies what to do and how to do it. Evaluation shows how effectively and efficiently the program achieved the desired goals, which, in part, is a measurement of how the program was administered. Sandwiched between planning and evaluation, of course, is the actual program implementation. These three steps of Planning-Implementing-Evaluating (PIE) account for most of the program development model but not all of it.
