What is contained in an APMP?
 An APMP contains full documentation of the indicators used to track progress toward the Strategic Objective, their data sources, the quality of data available and responsibilities for collection and analysis of the data. There is no standard APMP format, however, you are encouraged to develop a comprehensive APMP that goes beyond the one-page matrix often encountered. Your APMP should help the team establish systems to monitor, evaluate, analyze, review, and report performance data. The following guidance identifies required and recommended APMP elements. Guidance on APMP Elements Required Elements Detailed description of performance indicators to be tracked Source, method and schedule for data collection and assigned responsibility for data collection to a specific office, team or individual Description of known data limitations, the significance of the limitations for judging the extent to which goals have been achieved, and completed or planned actions to address these limitations Description of quality assessment procedures that will be used to verify and validate the measured values of actual performance
