Program Planning and Appraisal Methodology

Abstract

This document provides a summary of the planning processes currently employed by the DoD, USAF, and AFATL, the inter-relationships of these processes, and a description of the planning documents used at each level. A review of historical milestones in the development of the Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System from 1961 to 1973 is included as an Appendix. An appraisal methodology that instills rigor and enhances objectiveness in the planning process and that provides a documented corporate memory and audit trail is described. The use of the methodology is illustrated by an example of the appraisal process for selected Armament Laboratory programs.
