Participants in the AcqDemo Program Office Open Forum learned
how Key Performance Objectives (KPOs) would be integrated into existing
performance management processes and how implementation and utilization metrics
would be collected to support Department leadership oversight and congressional
reporting requirements. The AcqDemo Program Management Office (PMO) was
evaluating CAS2Net enhancements that might incorporate KPO-related questions
and workflow steps into Contribution Planning, Mid-Point Review, and Annual
Assessment to strengthen performance tracking and reporting. The session also
addressed the Federal Register Notice’s impact on out-of-cycle within-broadband
increases, the Distinguished Contribution Allowance, and the expansion of
Accelerated Compensation for Developmental Positions.
