NOAA Office of Program Planning and Integration

Implementation Plan (IP)

Use qualitative review and assessment to improve the content of IPs (e.g., logic model; alignment of performance measures, interdependency, risks, consistency).

Annual Guidance Memorandum (AGM)

Use past performance trends data and relevant available evaluation findings to assess NOAA progress toward its strategic goals, and identify issues and priorities.

Corporate Portfolio Analysis (CPA)

Use relevant available performance data trends, gaps, IPs and AGM to propose realistic options for implementing AGM and inform NOAA budget, and identify associated corporate risk.

NOAA Budget Submit

Use DOC budget review and relevant programmatic evaluation findings to improve base budget defensibility, and improve feasibility and readiness of budget alternatives.

Corporate Portfolio Review (CPR)

Incorporate evaluation findings as appropriate to inform NOAA responses to variance between appropriated budget and the President Budget.

Annual Operating Plans (AOP)

Use actual performance results to review execution performance, cost, and schedule; produce accountability reports complying with BSC, Performance and Accountability Report, and statutory evaluations; and assess NOAA accomplishment toward strategic goals.

Progress to Plan (P2P)

Use IPs, available performance measures, program evaluation and external assessments to monitor and evaluate NOAA’s progress toward NGSP objectives over time.
