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.

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

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, unique and defensible mission. |

PART Element
Two: Strategic Planning
Are
valid 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. |
|

|
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. |

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. |

Step
One: Develop Mission, Outcome Goals, Intermediate Outcomes Using
Logic Model Methodology
• Define agency mission and purpose ensuring it
provides a unique, specific contribution

Step
Two: Aligning Program Outputs and Activities to Program Goals
using a Logic Model Approach
• Successfully integrate budget and performance
using a resource tracking framework, such as Activity-Based Costing
• Establish definitive levels of products and services that
can be produced and measured within the program
• Define the actual workload level that is to be carried
out by the program and program partners
