Written to address performance policies within state and national governments, this book summarizes lessons learned from a 10-year research project that evaluated performance reports produced under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). The book documents the current state of the art in federal performance reporting, measures the extent of improvement, compares federal performance reports with those produced by state governments and other nations, and suggests how GPRA has affected management of federal agencies and resource allocation by policymakers. It also and identifies obstacles that must be overcome if GPRA is to deliver on the promise of performance budgeting.
