From page 1...
... DNDO has asked the National Research Council (NRC) for advice on how to develop performance measures and quantitative metrics that can be used to evaluate the overall effectiveness and report on progress toward meeting the goals of the GNDA.

From page 2...
... This assessment should consider the following factors: •  efinition of performance measures for each of the performance goals in D the Strategic Plan. •  efinition of quantifiable performance metrics for each performance mea D sure including, as appropriate, efficiency, output, and outcome-oriented performance measures.

From page 3...
... The committee provides several examples and concludes that it is fundamentally possible to develop outcome-based metrics to gauge the effectiveness of the GNDA. However, the committee finds that it is not feasible to develop outcome-based metrics against the existing performance goals within the existing GNDA strategic plan.

From page 4...
... Establishing a capability to evaluate GNDA effectiveness can provide useful information to decision makers such as the gap between existing and optimal resource allocation and a measure of the cost of operating the GNDA. The issue of disconnected budgets' impact on coordination of the GNDA has been highlighted previously.5 The committee provides an example of another federal program with similar challenges in Chapter 2.

From page 5...
... The committee provides several examples of the impact of NCT federal mission boundaries on strategic planning and response options. In Chapters 3 and 4, the committee provides one finding, one recommendation and notional examples of a strategic plan and outcome-based metrics in response to Task 1.

From page 6...
...  GNDA Strategic Plan that contains outcome-oriented, broadly A scoped goals, objectives and metrics and is directly connected to the components listed below; 2.  GNDA Architectural Definition that provides the conceptual and A physical descriptions of the GNDA, and that define needed input data for the models described below; 3.

From page 7...
... Recommendation 2.1: DNDO should develop a new GNDA Analysis Framework similar to the framework proposed by the committee. This framework defines an analytic process that clarifies the connections among strategic planning, architectural definition, models, metrics, and validation and verification efforts.
