Last December we laid out a roadmap for 2026 built around three themes: deeper tools for research and evaluation, richer content across more languages and topics, and stronger community through coaching and peer learning.
A roadmap is only worth anything if you come back and mark it honestly. So here are the same three themes, with each promise scored: what's live, what's in progress, and what's still ahead. No airbrushing. Counts match the platform as of October 2026.
The scorecard
Sampling Design Studio Live
The promised Power & Sample Lab shipped, and grew into a full Sampling Design Studio: cluster design, ICC adjustments, attrition buffers and a written plan you can defend to a donor, tuned for real field conditions. Designing and sizing are free; exporting the plan needs a paid plan. It replaced the old standalone sample-size calculator, which now redirects to it.
The wider Labs & Pro Studio shelf Live
Beyond sampling, the Theory of Change and Logframe builders are live. Seven builders are free to use; exporting your work needs a paid plan. A growing set of Pro Studio tools (13 at present, among them a ToR builder, an RQ builder, a Qualitative Insights Lab and the Visualization Cookbook) is live on the Pro Studio shelf.
Survey Cost Estimator & Field Timeline Planner Still ahead
The INR-benchmarked budgeting tool and the monsoon-and-festival-aware scheduler have not shipped. Neither is on the current roadmap page, so treat both as unscheduled.
Flagship courses, levelled up Live
The platform now has 21 flagship courses. Their modules carry a concept diagram each, and in July the flagships then live gained a verified open-access key reading in every module. Printable Course Notes PDFs, which you own and can annotate offline, exist for 18 of the 21. The foundational 101 library grew to 60 courses, among them GenAI for Practitioners, the DPDP Act, Safeguarding & PSEA and Disability Inclusion.
Regional languages In progress
The language switcher offers Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu and Marathi on the homepage, 18 of the 21 flagship course pages and 14 course lexicons. The 101 decks, labs, games and deep dives are in English only. Fully native course instruction in each language is on the roadmap as planned, and none of it is live yet.
Deep Dives & a Case Study Library In progress
The Deep Dives library, now 25 annotated and sourced reading paths on real development questions, is live. So is the Dev Case Studies library, with more than 200 cited case studies from 117 countries. Still ahead is a permissioned library of full evaluation case studies from South Asian organisations.
Verifiable credentials Live
The big one shipped. Four Assessed Tracks (MEL, Data & Technology, Policy & Economics, and AI for M&E) now pair free study with a capstone review and a verifiable certificate, and a Credential Upgrade lets free-pathway completers add just the assessment without re-buying content.
Structured peer cohorts Still ahead
Build Circles run as four-week cohorts of 6 to 10 people, and organisations can run cohorts from the team dashboard. Still ahead is a cohort for individual learners to move through a flagship course together, which the roadmap lists as mentor-led cohorts, under exploration. Small groups moving through a course together is the community piece we still owe you.
What we shipped that wasn't on the list
Some of the most useful work this year was not in the December plan at all. It came out of watching how people actually move around the platform:
The Libraries hub Live
One home at /libraries for every collection: courses, labs, games, reading companions, deep dives, the Dataverse and more.
A searchable Site Map Live
Every destination on the platform in one filterable, theme-aware page: type to jump anywhere.
Course Notes PDFs Live
A print-ready notes booklet for 18 of the 21 flagships, at ₹350 each: diagrams, worked examples and key readings to work through offline.
A two-round content refresh Live
Two audit rounds in July fixed defects found page by page and updated headline figures in several Deep Dives and 101 decks to their latest published sources.
Built With You
Almost everything above traces back to a conversation with a practitioner. The Sampling Design Studio grew out of M&E managers telling us they spend hours on calculations that should take minutes. The credential work reflects people who'd done the learning and needed a way to prove it. The Libraries hub exists because the platform had quietly become a behemoth and people asked for a single door in. The list below is how feedback reaches the team.
How you can shape what's next
- Use the labs: Your usage patterns tell us what works and what needs improvement
- Send feedback: Use the Feedback button on any page, and we read everything
- Join beta testing: Early access to new tools in exchange for honest input
- Share your challenges: The problems you face become the features we build
Staying accessible
As we grow, we're committed to keeping our core content free. The courses, the labs, the games: these remain open to anyone who wants to learn.
Paid plans cover coaching, assessed credentials, Pro Studio exports, the full Practice Packs and team tools. They help sustain the platform, and the free tier stays open. The educational mission comes first. A programme officer in rural Odisha and a consultant in Singapore should both be able to build the same foundational skills.
"Quality development education shouldn't be a luxury good available only to those who can attend expensive workshops in metropolitan cities."
The bigger picture
The aim is to build capacity across the development sector. Every practitioner who strengthens their skills improves the programmes they work on, which benefits the communities those programmes serve.
If ImpactMojo helps even a fraction of the development workforce do their work more effectively, that's a multiplier effect worth pursuing. What is planned next is on the Roadmap page, linked below.
