3.3: Measuring Success
Track our success in meeting the specific action steps outlined in this plan through a dashboard on www.dol.gov/open. Other Information:
Measuring the success of this initiative will evolve over time as we implement the specific action steps outlined in this
plan and utilize open government strategies to carry out our mission. Initially, we will track our success in meeting the
specific action steps outlined in this plan through a dashboard on www.dol.gov/open However, the true goal of this process
is not simply to answer the question of whether we are being more “open,” but to address how doing so impacts the services
we provide the American public. The better questions – and how we plan to evaluate our progress – are: Does the public have
access to more data? Is it better data? Does the public have a better understanding of, and access to, our services? Have
we increased our ability to reach a larger, broader spectrum of the population? Are developers using our data to create tools
that are of interest to particular audiences? Do our projects reflect the input of the public? If so, how? In addition, we
will track quantitative data in the following areas: • Number of high-value datasets and tools published online; • Number
of developers using our data; and • Number of specific public engagement opportunities These reports will be provided on a
quarterly basis on www.dol.gov/open beginning on June 30, 2010.
