Launch of First Agency Dash Board
• Performance Measurement is not new to GDOT
• GDOT’s first effort resulted in 15 Objectives and over
400 Performance Measures
• Ultimately, few of the Measures were being used in
Management decisions
• Following adoption of revised Goals, an achievable number of agency Objectives and Performance
Measures were defined

Launch of First Agency Dash Board
