Managing for Results: Analytic Challenges in Measuring Performance.

Abstract

Specifically, this report answers the following questions: (1) What analytic and technical challenges are agencies experiencing as they try to measure program performance? (2) What approaches have they taken to address these challenges? And, in particular, because program evaluation studies are similarly focused on measuring progress toward program goals and objectives, (3) How have agencies made use of program evaluations or evaluation expertise in implementing performance measurement? Indeed, the Act recognizes and encourages a complementary role for program evaluation by requiring agencies to describe its use in performance planning and reporting.
