Abstract

For complex projects the evaluation is an efficient management technique to monitor and timely assess the project implementation performance with respect to its main goals. The FORSEE project, which was funded by the South East Europe Transnational Cooperation Programme, developed the first regional Foresight exercise in research, development and innovation for the Information and Communication Technologies domain. The paper presents the authors’ experience regarding the FORSEE project self-evaluation based on the Goal-Question-Metric method. After a brief introduction to project activities being subject of self-evaluation, the main specific features of the GQM method (i.e. the approach, the measurement model, the phases of the GQM process) and the solution for GQM implementation adopted for the FORSEE project are described. This solution is illustrated by the synthesis of the self-evaluation report for the “Policy Recommendations evaluation object, representing the authors' contribution to the overall FORSEE self-evaluation activity. Some lessons learnt about the successful implementation of a project oriented to investigation of the future are also outlined.
