== What is the solution? ==
The steps below are intended to help make sure that you are able to report your project's outcomes in terms of the 7 global metrics. You should make sure that you know how you are going to collect and calculate the data you need to report before you start. If you have questions about global metrics, you can ask your [[Grantmaking_and_Programs#Grants_programs|grants officer]], post to the [[Grants talk:Learning_&_Evaluation/Global_metrics|global metrics talk page]], or email eval@wikimedia.org.
===''Before you start your event, project, or program''===
===<span style="background:#4682B4;color:white;padding:5px;">Create event or project pages</span>===
Project or event pages can help you organize your project or event. They provide a public place for you to record the relevant information and it serves as a central ___location for participants to sign up, ask questions, and
* Project or event name
* Project duration or event dates and times

===<span style="background:#4682B4;color:white;padding:5px;">Follow the learning patterns to report your Global Metrics===
The learning patterns associated with the Global Metrics are not meant to be exhaustive. However, these resources are being developed to provide support to a wide range of projects, programs, and events. Consult the patterns below for guidance on how to collect and report global metrics for your project. Feel free to improve the pattern to make it more relevant to others
<br>
* '''Not all programs will include all 7 global metrics''' - for some programs a metric may not be applicable. That is, while all programs have participants, not all programs focus to add or remove text or code (bytes added and/or removed) or to upload media files for instances. Just explain why it does apply and that is perfectly okay.
* '''Global metrics are not the only measures''' - in fact, exploring and reporting other metrics beyond the 7 global metrics is ''encouraged''.

=== Example report form ===
Line 108 ⟶ 113:
{{Grants/Reports/Globalmetrics/Rows
| metric = 1.
| achieved outcome = 15
| explanation = All the users who had at least 5 or more edits from July 1 to July 30 (the event was July 31)
Line 114 ⟶ 119:
{{Grants/Reports/Globalmetrics/Rows
| metric = 2.
| achieved outcome = 3
| explanation = These were editors who created usernames two weeks before the event, up to the end of the event.
Line 120 ⟶ 125:
{{Grants/Reports/Globalmetrics/Rows
| metric = 3.
| achieved outcome = 21
| explanation = All new and active editors who attended, plus volunteers who organized the event.
Line 126 ⟶ 131:
{{Grants/Reports/Globalmetrics/Rows
| metric =
| achieved outcome =
| explanation = 7 images out of the 100 images uploaded were used in wikimedia projects.
}}
{{Grants/Reports/Globalmetrics/Rows
| metric =
| achieved outcome = 100
| explanation = 100 images uploaded were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
}}
{{Grants/Reports/Globalmetrics/Rows
| metric = 5. Number of articles added or improved on Wikimedia projects
| achieved outcome = 3
| explanation = 1 new article + 2 stubs expanded
Line 146 ⟶ 157:
* Yes, we sent out a survey after the event and asked "To what extent did this event increase your motivation to contribute?". 16 participants (76%) said "a lot" or "some".
You can use this [[Grants:Learning_%26_Evaluation/Global_metrics/Template| template]] to create a table for reporting global metrics as above.
