Mission Partner Performance Metrics

OVERVIEW/BACKGROUND

Governance and decision-making across the ISE are supported by the integrated performance and investment process. The PM-ISE actively monitors progress toward information sharing performance objectives and goals. In 2010, progress across the ISE was captured through:

  • ISE agencies responses to the 2010 ISE Annual Performance Assessment Questionnaire, and
  • PM-ISE collection and analysis of financial data to determine the extent to which ISE priorities are being incorporated into agency budgets

Based on the analysis of the current level of progress and performance, ISE leadership, working with OMB and the White House National Security Staff, establishes annual ISE priorities. These priorities, outlined in the Fiscal Year (FY) ISE Programmatic Guidance, align resources and investments necessary to meet ISE priorities.

The process for measuring the progress of the ISE continues to evolve. The PM-ISE works closely with key points of contact at each ISE agency to obtain feedback and gather insights on improving the process and measures.

2010 ISE ANNUAL REPORT PERFORMANCE RESULTS

The detailed ISE performance results provided as Appendix A to the 2010 ISE Annual Report to Congress represent a subset of the results collected through the 2010 ISE Performance Assessment Questionnaire. The performance measures used in the questionnaire were formulated through a collaborative process between PM-ISE and the ISE Departments and Agencies and align to the ISE Framework Goals and Sub-Goals. All responses to these performance questions were self reported by the ISE Departments and Agencies and validated by PM-ISE. These measures have been used on a yearly basis to determine the progress being made by the ISE towards accomplishing its Goals.

The 2010 ISE Annual Assessment was the most complete and comprehensive to date. Analysis of the collected results indicates strong progress being made across the board. Specifically, the “2010 Highlight” section under each performance metric in Appendix A demonstrates the success of the past year for each of the four ISE Goals. The overall maturity of the ISE improved in 2010, substantially supported by the efforts of the ISE Departments and Agencies to support and accomplish the objectives defined in the ISE Framework.
