Lifecycle Lifecycle Performance Performance Professionals Professionals • The President’s Management Agenda (PMA) outlines programs to radically improve performance by making government agencies more citizen-centered, results-oriented and market-based. It focuses on five major issues that all federal organizations must address — budget and performance integration, strategic human capital, competitive sourcing, improved financial performance and expanded electronic government. • The Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) was developed to assess and improve program performance so that the Federal government can achieve better results. A PART review helps identify a program’s strengths and weaknesses to inform funding and management decisions aimed at making the program more effective. The PART therefore looks at all factors that affect and reflect program performance including program purpose and design; performance measurement, evaluations, and strategic planning; program management; and program results. Because the PART includes a consistent series of analytical questions, it allows programs to show improvements over time, and allows comparisons between similar programs. • OMB Circular A-11 covers the development of the President’s budget and tells you how to prepare and submit materials required for OMB and Presidential review of agency requests and for formulation of the budget. • The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is known as "the investigative arm of Congress" and "the congressional watchdog." GAO supports the Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities and helps improve the performance and accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people. • Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA) - The purpose of the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (FFMIA) is to advance Federal financial management by ensuring that Federal financial management systems provide accurate, reliable, and timely financial management information to the government’s managers. The intent and the requirements of this Act go well beyond the directives of the CFO Act and the Government Management Reform Act of 1994 (GMRA) to publish audited financial reports. Compliance with the FFMIA will provide the basis for the continuing use of reliable financial management information by program managers, and by the President, the Congress and the public. • The Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (ITMRA) is intended to improve the ways that agencies acquire, use, and dispose of information technology (IT) and, thereby, to improve the productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness of Federal programs. The Act requires consideration of IT goals in strategic planning and IT contributions to agency goals and performance. © 2009 Lifecycle-performance-pros.com All rights reserved 34
Lifecycle Lifecycle Performance Performance Professionals Professionals The Lifecycle Performance Management Kit provides all of the processes, techniques and frameworks to implement a successful government performance solution. The Organizational Performance and Best Practices Analysis will identify your strengths, weaknesses, and cost savings opportunities, and will plan out the exact steps to reaching your performance goals. Performance Measures The Lifecycle Performance Framework is a group of performance-related processes and methodologies, sequenced throughout five phases, and designed to raise organizational awareness of performance management best practices. ISO 9000 is a family of standards published by the International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”). The objective of ISO 9001 is to provide a set of requirements that, if they are effectively implemented, will provide you with confidence that your supplier can consistently provide goods and services that meet your needs and expectations and comply with applicable regulations. Capability Maturity Model ® Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes. It can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organization. CMMI helps integrate traditionally separate organizational functions, set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality processes, and provide a point of reference for appraising current processes. The Performance Reference Model (PRM) is a standardized framework to measure the performance of major IT initiatives and their contribution to program performance. The PRM structure is designed to clearly articulate the cause and effect relationship between inputs, outputs, and outcomes. This “line of sight” is critical for IT project managers, program managers, and key decision-makers to understand how and to what extent technology is enabling progress towards outputs and outcomes. Enterprise Architecture (EA) builds a holistic view of the organization's strategy, processes, information, and information technology assets. Enterprise Architect ensures that the business and IT are in alignment. EA links the business mission, strategy, and processes of an organization to its IT strategy, and documents this using multiple architectural models or views © 2009 Lifecycle-performance-pros.com All rights reserved 35
