Keynote
Address: Achieving Effective Performance Integration in Government
The Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) evaluated the performance
of 234 programs for F04, by examining the four pillars of a program:
purpose, planning, management and results. The PART serves as
a tool to help integrate the budget and performance initiative
as outlined in the PMA. This keynote address will examine PART’s
overall assessment for FY04 and look at the expectations by OMB
and the administration for FY05 and beyond.

of Management and Budget*

Integrating
PART to GPRA and PMA
PART is a standardized, methodological tool that is evidence-based
in its assessment. In providing evidence, federal programs need
to turn to effective GPRA performance plans which serve as the
blueprint to performance planning and management. PART serves
as a tool to hold GPRA performance plans and PMA implementation
progress accountable by evaluating their success
Carl DeMaio, President, The
Performance Institute/Reason Foundation

PART
Element One: Program Purpose and Design
Is
the program’s purpose and design clear and defensible?
Programs
destined for failure are often maligned by a flawed purpose and
design. Inability to address a specific interest or need in a
program results in a lack of focus. Discuss how to ensure that
your program is starting off on the right foot by formulating
a strong and defensible mission.

PART
Element Two: Strategic Planning
Are valid and long-term goals set for the program?
Through the passage of GPRA in 1993, government agencies are required
to draft a strategic plan to outline their long-term goals, yet
many of these goals remain vague. Learn how to establish meaningful
annual and long-term goals and performance measures in your GPRA
plan.
2:15
PART
Element Three: Program Management
Are the agency’s program management, financial oversight
and program improvement efforts successful?
To ensure that your agency is integrating performance and budget,
information needs to be collected and evaluated on your program.
To safeguard your agency against budget shortfalls and dwindling
performance, learn how to accurately collect performance information
as well as estimate and budget for your operation costs.

PART
Element Four: Program Results
Are the performance goals set during strategic
planning being met?
In order to validate the success of your program’s
purpose, planning and management, examine its results. Establish
targets and actual goals for performance and effectiveness. Learn
how to reach performance goals annually while continuing to plan
for the future.
