The department strives to maximize the performance of state executive branch agencies through implementation of longer-term strategic plans and annual operational plans. 

We advise agencies on the development of performance measures and ensure that agencies effectively track their performance metrics to drive operational outcomes. 

To drive performance based budgeting and ensure the management of financial resources, we engage agencies in program reviews.

We also publish agency plans and performance results to inform Iowans about their return from investment in state government.
