	What are Cross-Agency Priority Goals? Cross-Agency Priority Goals are statements of the long-term level of desired performance improvement for Government-wide efforts. These goals are set or revised every four years and include outcome-oriented goals that cover a limited number of crosscutting policy areas and management goals addressing financial management, strategic human capital management, information technology management, procurement and acquisition management, and real property management.


	What are Strategic Objectives? Strategic objectives reflect the outcome or management impact the agency is trying to achieve, and generally include the agency’s role. Each objective is tracked through a suite of performance goals, indicators and other evidence that facilitate planning, management, reporting, and evaluation. What are Agency Priority Goals? Agency Priority Goals are a limited number of specific performance targets, usually 2–8, that advance progress toward longer-term outcomes. Agency Priority Goals are near-term results or achievements that leadership wants to accomplish within approximately 24 months. These goals rely predominantly on agency implementation as opposed to budget or legislative accomplishments.


	What are Themes? Themes list the issue or policy areas that are used to group similar goals and objectives.
