    Creating your own qualitative questions

    Now it’s your turn! Using the impact framework that you have created in the previous courses, or in your own organisation, write qualitative questions.

    Guidelines for writing your qualitative questions

    As you design questions, keep in mind three hints:

    • Design your question pairs from “what” to “how.”
    • Ask about both positive change (this will help you prove your impact) and struggles or difficulties people are having to change (this will help you improve your impact).
    • Include attribution phrases that will remind them to think about what has been affected by your program.
