Assessment Projects

Organizing assessment work by independent projects allows you to collect and summarize data based on locations, time periods, functional areas, or events. Data from multiple assessment projects can then be viewed together in the Condition Assessment Scoreboard or the Environmental Sustainability Assessment Scoreboard to provide a complete condition assessment or sustainability assessment picture for the entire organization.

You can run assessments annually or quarterly and create a new project for each assessment. You can also use projects to group assessments based on what will be audited. For example, condition assessment projects might be organized by:
