PMA Priority Metrics

The Biden-Harris Management Agenda Vision sets out key priorities for an equitable, effective, and accountable Government that delivers results for all Americans. A management-focused learning agenda in support of the President’s Management Agenda (PMA) identifies key questions to answer to support the PMA vision

The PMA Learning Agenda aims to:

Reinforce a focus on learning. A learning agenda is not about delivering a thumbs up or down on a program for compliance monitoring. It can spur research that identifies which approaches work, why, and for whom, so those lessons can be applied across contexts to improve outcomes.

Bridge silos. Many of the most pressing issues do not fit neatly within the boundaries of a single agency. This PMA Learning Agenda provides an opportunity to coordinate learning and evidence building across agencies.

Catalyze innovation beyond the Federal Government. Many researchers, practitioners, and State, Tribal, Territorial, and local leaders across the country are piloting and testing innovations and generating evidence to better serve their communities. Clearly communicating a PMA Learning Agenda with key management questions can catalyze coordinated innovation with research institutions, and within and across agencies in the Federal Government, and State, Tribal, Territorial, and local.
