The Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) How-To Guide assists grant applicants and grantees in developing PMPs, a mandatory component for federal programs per 18 FAM 301.4-3. This guide focuses on performance indicators, categorizing them as output-level (measuring immediate deliverables) or outcome-level (measuring achieved changes). Indicators must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound) and quantitative, with grantees required to use at least three CT Standard Indicators. Key PMP components include indicator definition, data disaggregation (e.g., by location, sex), data sources (primary or secondary), reporting frequency, responsible points of contact, unit of measure, initial baselines, and final targets. The guide emphasizes capturing both outputs and outcomes, with a minimum of two output-level and one outcome-level indicator per project outcome. A sample CT project template illustrates how to structure PMP indicators, including disaggregations and definitions, aligning with CT-wide and category-specific standard indicators where applicable.

The “Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) How-To Guide: Performance Indicators” provides comprehensive guidance for CT/P grant applicants and grantees on developing PMPs to measure and monitor project implementation. The guide details essential PMP components, including performance indicator types (output-level and outcome-level), their definitions, disaggregation, data sources, reporting frequency, responsible personnel, unit of measure, initial baselines, and final targets. It emphasizes using “SMART” (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound) indicators and requires at least three relevant CT Standard Indicators, along with customized indicators if needed. The document also includes a sample PMP template to illustrate how these components are applied, particularly focusing on counter-terrorism related outcomes and the disaggregation of data for comparative analysis. It mandates robust PMPs to include a blend of output and outcome indicators to demonstrate tangible project achievements.

The PITT (Performance Monitoring Plan) Instruction outlines the process for tracking and reporting indicator data within government projects, likely federal grants or RFPs. Implementers must populate the PITT document with outcomes and indicators from their PMP, including disaggregations, initial baselines, and ambitious yet achievable quarterly and final targets. The document emphasizes regularly updating "actuals" for each indicator and tracking progress to completion. It also requires detailed comments explaining significant deviations or data limitations. The PITT serves as a stand-alone spreadsheet submitted quarterly, ensuring consistent monitoring and reporting of project performance, successes, and challenges.

The Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) How-To Guide assists CT/P grant applicants and grantees in developing PMPs, a mandatory component for federal programs per 18 FAM 301.4-3. This guide focuses on performance indicators, which are crucial for measuring project implementation and progress. PMPs require both output-level indicators (measuring immediate deliverables) and outcome-level indicators (measuring achieved changes). All indicators must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound) and include at least three CT Standard Indicators. The PMP also details components such as indicator definition, data disaggregation (e.g., by sex or location), data sources (primary or secondary), reporting frequency, responsible personnel, unit of measure, initial baselines, and final targets. The document includes a PMP Definitions Table and a sample CT Project/Template to illustrate these concepts, emphasizing the importance of robust PMPs that capture tangible project achievements and outcomes.

This guide helps CT/P grant applicants and grantees develop Performance Monitoring Plans (PMPs) as required by 18 FAM 301.4-3. PMPs outline how project implementation is measured and monitored, with a focus on performance indicators. The guide details PMP components, including output-level (measuring immediate deliverables) and outcome-level indicators (measuring achieved changes). Indicators must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound) and quantitative. Grantees must use at least three CT Standard Indicators, along with custom indicators as needed. Other PMP components include indicator definitions, disaggregation of data (e.g., by sex or location), data sources (primary or secondary), reporting frequency, responsible personnel, unit of measure, initial baselines, and final targets. The document emphasizes including a blend of output- and outcome-level indicators to demonstrate tangible achievements. It also provides a sample PMP template for a CT project to illustrate these concepts.

This guide helps Counter-Terrorism/Prevention (CT/P) grant applicants and grantees develop Performance Monitoring Plans (PMPs), a mandatory component for federal programs per 18 FAM 301.4-3. PMPs outline how project implementation will be measured and monitored, with a focus on performance indicators. The guide details PMP components, including output-level (measuring immediate deliverables) and outcome-level (measuring achieved changes) indicators. Indicators must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-Bound) and quantifiable. Grantees must use at least three CT Standard Indicators but can also develop custom ones. Other key PMP elements include indicator definition, data disaggregation (e.g., by sex, location), data sources (primary or secondary), reporting frequency, responsible points of contact, unit of measure, initial baselines, and final targets. The document also provides a sample PMP template for a CT project, illustrating how to apply these components to specific outcomes and indicators, including required disaggregations and reporting details. Annexes provide further explanation of SMART indicators and a list of CT-Wide Standard Indicators, categorizing them by type (output or outcome) and emphasizing their use in grant applications.
