This article discusses the work of Judith Tendler, a development economist, consultant, and evaluator from the perspective of her contribution to evaluation research. It argues for her role as a forerunner of many contemporary evaluative concerns and the enduring vitality of her unconventional views. Her reflective practice is built on the doubt and surprise that emerge during fieldwork. It aimed to surface what worked in adverse conditions, and the lessons that could be learned across development interventions and across different domains. The article hinges around the many consequences of searching for “how projects could have worked well”: from challenging accepted theories, to developing specific research methods, and being an ethically oriented evaluator.
