Performance Management

Performance measurement indicates what a program is accomplishing and whether results are being achieved. It helps managers by providing information on how resources and efforts should be allocated to ensure effectiveness. It keeps program partners focused on the key goals of a program, and it supports development and justification of budget proposals by indicating how taxpayers and others will benefit.

Part of the information that managers and policy officials need to make management decisions is provided by performance measurement. Performance measurement must often be coupled with evaluation data to increase understanding of results and the value a program adds. Performance measurement keeps a focus on results, it has been a central aspect both of the Government Results and Performance Act (GRPA) and of the Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) guidance document.
