What are Deliverables, Measures, and Activities?

Euna Grants uses three levels to track grant progress:

  1. Deliverables — What must be completed
    Tangible outputs, milestones, and expected completion date.
  2. Measures — How progress is tracked
    Metrics and indicators used to monitor progress toward deliverables.
  3. Activities — The actual work reported
    A record of work completed, or progress made against a measure.

Deliverables

Deliverables are specific outcomes that must be completed by a deadline. Key fields include:

  • Name — What must be delivered
  • Description — Context or specifications
  • Due Date — When it's due
  • Completion Status — Marked complete or incomplete

Example: "Submit Final Program Guide by Close Out"

Deliverables can be linked to measures. When linked, they automatically calculate progress from those measures. When not linked, they show 0% progress until manually marked complete.

Measures

Measures are quantifiable indicators that track progress toward a deliverable. There are three types:

  • Milestone — Binary yes/no tracking. Example: "Program Guide submitted"
  • Number — Counts toward a target. Example: "Train 50 staff members"
  • Percent — Shows percentage of target achieved. Example: "Serve 80% of target population"

Key fields include:

  • Name — What the measure tracks
  • Type — Milestone, Number, or Percent
  • Target — The goal amount
  • Target Date — The goal completion date

Activities

Activities are reports of actual work completed against a measure. Key fields include:

  • Reporting Period — When the work occurred and the Activity End Date
  • Number Complete — How much work was accomplished
  • Description — Description of the work
  • Attachments — Supporting documentation (optional)

Example: "Trained 15 staff in Q1"

How It Works Together

Activities flow upward automatically:

Activities (real work) → Measures (progress tracking) → Deliverables (completion status)

Example:

  • Activity 1: Trained 15 staff in Q1
  • Activity 2: Trained 20 staff in Q2
  • Activity 3: Trained 12 staff in Q3
  • Total: 47 of 50 = 94% progress toward measure target

A deliverable can link to one or more measures. When measures are linked, deliverable progress is calculated automatically from the measures. When all linked measures are complete, the deliverable shows 100% complete.
