Our Method
How We Track Implementation
Each meeting or email holds many separate subjects. We record each one as a discussion item and code it, so a short check-in becomes a detailed record of implementation progress.
What the colours mean
- Communication 30
- Development 54
- Implementation 49
- Planning 82
- Recruitment 3
- Upcoming Events 26
We capture
10 project meetings (30-minute check-ins) plus the email communications between them.
We break each one into discussion items
One check-in covers many separate subjects — a workshop date, an advisory board invite, a website update. Each subject becomes one discussion item (about 22 per meeting).
We code every discussion item the same way
Each discussion item gets a general code (what it was about) and a coded discussion topic (what it advanced). The same codebook is used in every meeting and email.
220
discussion items from 10 meetings
24
discussion items from email communications
244
coded discussion items
The 244 counts discussion items, not meetings.

Virtual Workshops: 56 discussion items across 14 meeting and email dates. Bars are coloured cognac on days that include email discussion items.
