Work Plan: Tasks to be Completed 1. Review and understand the spreadsheets that are currently available to us 2. Decide: Make modifications or start from scratch? 3. Create actual spreadsheet design tool 4. Test the spreadsheet with various data

Work Plan (cont.) 5. Maintain communication with NGO’s, asking questions and getting feedback 6. Document the creation process, producing a guide that describes how to use the tool 7. Predict possible challenges, modify plan if necessary 8. Create Final Report
