The PRM and the Outcomes and Programs framework (Figure 4-9) align very closely when the PRM is applied
at the government program level. The PRM is designed to apply at multiple levels and supports agency and
business unit performance reporting.
Figure 4-9: The PRM’s alignment with outcomes and programs
The process model that underpins the PRM can be applied at any level of an organisation or program. It can be
applied effectively at lower functional levels of government (project, team, branch etc.) to support any initiative
(social, financial, environmental), and is able to establish an effective performance measurement and evaluation
line of sight extending beyond the program deliverables of government agencies.
In this way, the PRM is able to support not only Outcomes and Programs Policy implementation (Figure 4-10),
but also more detailed reporting for agency managers.
