Program evaluators work under crushing budget limits and tight deadlines while missing the data they need most. Michael Bamberger presents a seven-step framework that helps evaluators adapt when conditions are far from ideal. The approach has been tested in workshops and refined through practical use. Case studies span different regions and sectors, showing how the method works for small projects with minimal funding and large evaluations that run for years. The framework accommodates quantitative approaches, qualitative methods, and mixed designs. This second edition captures five years of new developments in evaluation practice, demonstrating how professionals can produce meaningful assessments even when resources are scarce and information is incomplete.
