Statistical testing might be difficult Participation in surveys and questionnaires might be low Language and/or cultural barriers Time management will be tough – setting things up will be time-consuming May not obtain accurate responses from end-users Traveling to and from project locations could be costly Might limit interactions with end-users Unexpected delays and issues may throw off evaluation
