6.2: Budget-Performance Integration

Implement budget-performance integration by linking DIA resource allocations and performance measures to strategic objectives.

Other Information:

DIA’s mission requires the careful allocation of investments and resources at all levels. The Agency recognizes that government resources are finite and must make hard decisions when balancing priorities and risks. Consequently, DIA will use all relevant data to evaluate and invest in those programs which are most likely to yield products and results tied to strategic objectives. DIA will: • Assess the current program development process to evaluate how program submissions are aligned against strategic objectives and/or may be improved to further meet the mission needs of the Agency. • Utilize the Enterprise Architecture model to align IT systems and technologies against strategic, operational, and tactical objectives, key process areas, and identified business requirements. • Strengthen the linkages between strategic objectives, business capabilities, supporting services, and performance measures to understand business needs and program performance measures when defending or requesting resources. • Evaluate directorate-level performance outcomes against the accomplishment of overall Agency strategic objectives and metrics. • Eliminate programs that add little value to accomplishing strategic objectives and re-direct savings to existing and emerging strategic priorities. • Implement a portfolio management framework to manage risks, returns, and performance of IT investments throughout their life cycle. • Utilize a centralized investment management tool to facilitate comprehensive programming, budgeting, and reporting information on all IT investments.
