In project management, “Good Practice” is a standardized and replicable method of performing an action that can be applied by departments/organizations, having analogous objectives, in order to achieve analogous results.   

 

The word “practice” is strictly related to the word “theory”.  Any action carried out as a result of a human choice contains:

-          a vision =  a theory

and

-          an activity that concretizes this vision = a practice.

However, an adequate description of these practices requires an in-depth case study that only you, as implementing actors, can write.  We, as evaluators, can only recognize and commend.  In particular, we have and will continue to recommend that these good practices be comprehensively written by you and extensively shared by all stakeholders of the VET programme.

Collecting and sharing good practices is an integral part of the EU approach to International cooperation and EU invites its partners to cooperate in it.  In our evaluation report, we will strongly recommend that the knowledge on good practices be shared in a more effective way than it was done until now.

 

Case study

A case study is a detailed intensive study of a unit, such as an organization or a project that stresses factors contributing to achievements or failures. In a project case study, nearly every aspect of the project’s life and history is analysed in order to seek the patterns that link causes (activities) and effects (results).
