We are finding that the best way for groups to think strategically about technology is to follow a thoughtful assessment and planning process. PTP has created three draft documents that you may find useful.

• Technology Assessment Guide - This guide focuses on the work you are doing today, and how technology is being used. It takes stock of your organization's programmatic and technical status.
• Technology Planning Guide - Starting from the assessment, the plan focuses on organizing goals, and answers training, cost and technical assistance questions for your group.
• Organizational Technology Assessment and Planning Tool - This tool is designed to help organizations think about what they do and how technology can support that work. We encourage groups to use this tool as is useful for them.

Many of these resources are available in Adobe Acrobat pdf format. You can download the Acrobat software for PC or Macintosh for free.
