According to ADS 203.3.3, an assistance objective team is responsible for preparing a PMP to establish baseline data from which to measure progress toward intended objectives. It should systematically monitor results, collect and analyze performance information, and communicate results achieved or not achieved to advance organizational learning and tell the Agency’s story.
ADS 203.3.3 emphasizes that assistance objective teams must prepare a PMP for each assistance objective for which they are responsible. According to ADS 203.3.3.1, a PMP should define at least one performance indicator to be tracked and specify the source, method of collection, schedule of collection, and known data limitations.
