POMT Application

POMT is a downloadable, browser-based application for Mac and PC that runs locally on your computer and does not require an active internet connection. The POMT module helps you create an ongoing plan for monitoring, measuring, and tracking outcomes over time to evaluate program effectiveness.

Program Features:

• Once all of your program monitoring is entered, you will be able to access an interactive dashboard that shows the status of all your outcomes.
• The end result is an interactive assessment and printable report that enables you to compare your program's actual progress to your set targets, benchmarks, and baseline.
• This app functions as a program monitoring guide for you and your team, visually showing the status of program outcomes. Status is indicated by a red, yellow, or green color.
• Contains an POMT Application User Guide with full instructions and logic model examples.

In the video below, listen to Krishna Narayan walk you through an introduction to using the Program Outcomes, Measures, and Targets (POMT) Application.

Program monitoring can help gauge whether a program has been successful by:

• Establishing a detailed and transparent program with measurable outcomes.
• Developing clear indicators and measures.
• Providing a foundation for data collection and evaluation.
• Developing a common language for objective and factual discussion and assessment of progress toward goals.

To provide more information on logic models, REL Pacific has created a series of hard-copy quick reference guides and a Frequently Asked Questions resource guide:

• Understanding Program Monitoring: The Relationships Among Outcomes, Indicators, Measures, and Targets
• Program Monitoring: The Role of Leadership in Planning, Assessment, and Communication
