Summary:

Performance budgeting and performance measurement, considered together, are the most ambitious public sector management reforms adopted in the last half century. This report is a study of the implementation of a federal performance budgeting management tool called PART, for Program Assessment Rating Tool. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) initiated it in 2003 and will have completed assessments
of all federal programs by 2007. Performance budgeting addresses persistent difficulties in government
budgeting, particularly the problems of knowing
where to allocate resources most efficiently and holding program managers accountable for producing results. Still, there are significant challenges in successfully
realizing the goals of performance budgeting.
<p>
OMB’s implementation of performance budgeting is comprehensive and impressive, reflecting careful design and determined follow-through. This report examines the implementation of PART and the four challenges that have faced federal programs as they have sought to meet its demands.
