strategies in year-end performance report• Update plan as needed to accomplish goals

FY 2015: What’s New?• Plan refinement, not directional change
• Evaluate progress, adjust strategies if needed

procurements, IT dependencies, staffing, facilities)– Select “None” if appropriate (new field)
• Meetings with OPB
19
FY 2015: What’s New? Continued• Measureable objectives:
– Not linked to strategies (measures goal achievement)– Enter X and Y in numeric field– Provide baseline date and target date– “from X as of date to Y by date”
• Agency performance reports:– Measureable objectives reported only once, in a manner
consistent with X and Y values– Status updates focus on progress of listed strategies– ESA assistance (select among choices)
• Guidelines revised to include new appendices20
Writing a Reportable Plan• Goal: Reflects agency’s top priorities and specific to core functions• Measureable Objective:
– Measures goal achievement (i.e., outcomes, not the completion of strategies)
– Includes time-bound baseline and target (X as of date to Y by date)– Target date is in the future, baseline is held constant– Performance is reportable using established method of calculation,
consistent with X and Y• Strategy:
– Describes high-level work an agency will do to achieve the goal– Is a descriptive, complex action comprised of multiple action steps– Starts with verbs like develop, design, establish, enhance, implement, etc.– Includes completed detail for budget, staffing, IT, and facility implications
