Managing for Results: Observations on NASA's Fiscal Year 1999 Performance Plan,

Abstract

The Results Act requires that the Office of Management and Budget (0MB) direct each executive agency to prepare an annual performance plan, beginning with fiscal year 1999. The performance plan is one of three components of the Results Act, the others being the strategic plan, submitted by agencies in September 1997, and the annual report due March 31, 2000. The performance plan should describe (1) annual performance goals and measures, (2) the strategies and resources to achieve those goals, and (3) procedures to verify and validate reported performance. The act requires that performance goals be linked to the program activities in agencies' budgets and be expressed in an objective, quantifiable, and measurable form. 0MB is to use agency performance plans to develop the overall federal government performance plan submitted annually to Congress, beginning with the President's fiscal year 1999 budget.
