The third section provides a summary of an analysis of the existing performance goals and strategic plan using the definitions and concepts introduced in the first two sections. The chapter concludes with a finding to address Task 1.

It describes general and longer-term goals the agency aims to achieve, what actions the agency will take to realize those goals, and how the agency will deal with the challenges likely to be barriers to achieving the desired result. An agency's strategic plan should provide the context for decisions about performance goals, priorities, and bud get planning, and should provide the framework for the detail provided in agency annual plans and reports (OMB, 2012, Section 200, p.

However, these metrics do not provide an assessment of the overall GNDA. This section introduces tools to develop and evaluate metrics in terms of their usefulness (e.g., their ability to provide information on the overall effectiveness of the GNDA)

Because developing outcome-based strategic plans and metrics is difficult for programs such as the GNDA, it was determined that this additional criterion may prove helpful in GNDA agency self-assessment of future goals, objectives, and metrics.

• Comprehensive -- The attribute levels cover the range of possible conse quences for the corresponding objective and value judgments implicit in the attribute are reasonable. • Direct -- The attribute levels directly describe to the consequences of interest.

Part 6 of Circular A-11 (OMB, 2012) describes the GPRA Modernization Act requirements and the expected approach to performance reporting.5 OMB's strategic planning hierarchy can be found in Figure 3-2.

Therefore, developing outcome-based metrics to report on progress of the overall GNDA against the existing plan is not feasible. 3.4 finding FINDING 1.1: It is fundamentally possible to create outcome-based metrics for the GNDA; however, it is not currently feasible to develop outcomebased metrics against the existing strategic plan's goals, objectives, and performance goals because these components are primarily output- and process-based and are not linked directly to the GNDA's mission.
