What Does All This Green Really Mean? (Comments from Clay Johnson, Deputy Director for Management)May 7, 2008 --Since the President's Management Agenda (PMA) was implemented in 2002, agencies have made significant strides in achieving "Green" on the PMA scorecard.

Doing What They Said They Would Do (Comments from Clay Johnson, Deputy Director for Management)January 31, 2008 --After 6 years, Federal agencies are as committed as ever to becoming more effective, measured by the number that did what they said they would do (causing them to be rated green for progress) in this past quarter.
Transparency is Good (Comments from Clay Johnson, Deputy Director for Management)September 30, 2007 --This past quarter, Federal agencies were required to develop and implement an IT breach notification policy within 120 days of the issuance of a directive in May. No agency met the requirements for privacy and security as outlined in the directive; so almost all agencies were downgraded on E-Gov progress; they didn't do what they said they would do. Because this implementation failure is most apparent, it is most likely that agencies will correct the situation most quickly.

Greater Effectiveness (Comments from Clay Johnson, Deputy Director for Management)May 1, 2007 --Federal agencies have significantly greater ability to be effective today than they did in 2001, when they began working on the President's Management Agenda. The green (and yellow) on the PMA scorecard shows all the agencies that have developed the ability to maximize the value of their people, responsibly account for the people's money, improve service delivery, and manage costs and investments.
