Information Needs for Decision Making by Program Management Office Personnel.
Abstract
This report examines the need for decision making information by program management office (PMO) personnel. The study defines a management framework which can identify and reduce extraneous data requirements and costs within the program office. To reduce the excess quantity and cost of data, information needs and decision making styles of PMO members should be matched. This study reviews the management information policy and criteria directed by the Department of Defense; the program office data requirements; and the recent evaluations of data management systems. An individual's personality and job requirements are compared in relation to the decision making process. Two decision making style models based upon personal data needs are described. The implications of adjusting the program office information needs to match the information needs of individual decision makers will result in deletion of reports no longer required, the identification and correction of potential decision process bottlenecks, and a reduction in program costs.
