Federal Govt. Making Progress on Management Scorecard
(March 23, 2006)

Five-year trend analysis identifies progress in the President’s Management Agenda since inception of the scorecard process, but also significant room for improvement.

Federal departments and agencies are making consistent progress in some management areas and uneven advances in others, according analysis of the Executive Branch Management Scorecard by program management services provider Robbins-Gioia. The report points to opportunities for continued improvement and application of program management best practices as departments and agencies execute against the five governmentwide management initiatives identified in the President’s Management Agenda (PMA).

Since 2001, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has evaluated on a quarterly basis 25 federal departments and major agencies on their advancements in achieving the five initiatives: strategic management of human capital, competitive sourcing, improved financial performance, expanded electronic government, and budget and performance integration. Departments and agencies are evaluated on a green-yellow-red scorecard with scores based on the scorecard standards for success.
