Activity Instructions

In this assignment, you will build support for your OIP by collecting and evaluating data. Then you will update the completed portions of your OIP based on your results. Complete the following to prepare for this assignment:

1. Start by researching and identifying data collection tools that would be appropriate for your OIP.
2. Select one appropriate tool and use it to collect your data. It may not be possible to collect actual data for your OIP within the time constraints and scope of this course. Instead, you may need to make assumptions about the data you would expect to collect.
3. Evaluate the data to draw relevant information from your results.
4. Analyze how your results enhance, support, or change the portions of the OIP you have already developed (the problem statement, flowchart, measurement strategy, and anticipated recommendations).
5. Finally, modify your OIP, based on your findings.

Then, write a paper that includes the following:

• A brief evaluation of the most appropriate tools and techniques for collecting real or anticipated data for your OIP.
