The First 90 Days: A Checklist for New NRS Data Leaders

The First 90 Day Checklist is a tool created by NRS to help new NRS data leaders develop a strategic plan for the first 90 days in their role. This tool breaks down major tasks into three 30-day increments:

  • Learn the Lay of the Land
  • Assess Data Quality and Use in your Program and Identify Goals
  • Develop a Strategic Plan for Meeting the Identified Goals

The tool highlights key tasks that will help individuals new to the role establish themselves as data leaders and create a plan to help them navigate their new role.
