Implementing Performance-Based Budgeting for Government
Aligning a program's budget to performance measures and end-outcomes is essential for coordinating operational areas within the program. While frameworks exist to track spending, managers must integrate those frameworks with efficient performance measures to ensure that the resources of your office, program, agency, or department are being allocated correctly and efficiently. This hands-on workshop will walk managers through creating performance measures to align your budget to desired outcomes and executed activities.

• Walk step-by-step through the Program Assessment Rating Tool to illustrate federal performance budgeting and its integration into the performance management fabric
• Participate in a hands-on application of the Logic Model framework and Activity-Based Costing and Management to create fully integrated performance-based budget
• Learn to select end-outcomes and to identify appropriate performance measures and strategies for your program
