OBPM Performance Management is charged with monitoring agency performance and facilitating the effective and efficient implementation of the Mayor’s policies by providing leadership, support, and oversight of District government agencies. With the goal of improving agency performance and improving transparency and accountability, the team is working to overhaul the District’s approach to performance management. The Performance Management includes the following:
CapSTAT
CapSTAT is a data-driven performance management tool administered by the Performance Management Division. CapSTAT aims to improve agency performance by presenting the Mayor and City Administrator with data and information on timely policy issues and agency processes in a forum to spark thoughtful discussion and lead to actionable outcomes. The CapSTAT team works in coordination with agency partners to identify and recommend solutions to pressing challenges utilizing tools such as data analysis, mapping, business process reviews, and best practice research.
