CIO Council Priorities

The President's Management Agenda (PMA)

What is the PMA?

The President’s Management Agenda lays out a long-term vision for modernizing the Federal Government in key areas. This will improve the ability of agencies to deliver mission outcomes, provide excellent service, and effectively steward taxpayer dollars.

To drive these priorities, the Administration leverages Cross-Agency Priority (CAP) Goals to coordinate and publicly track implementation across Federal agencies. CAP Goals are updated or revised every four years with each Presidential Administration’s term.

Why This Matters to the CIO Council

CAP Goals are a tool used by leadership to accelerate progress on a limited number of Presidential priority areas where implementation requires active collaboration among multiple agencies. CAP Goals are long-term in nature. They drive cross-government collaboration to tackle government-wide management challenges affecting most agencies. In this case, CIOs use CAP Goals to inform their approach to Federal information resources. Learn more about the PMA and all CAP Goals at Performance.gov.
