Annual Performance Progress Reports (APPR) use key performance measure data to describe each agency’s progress towards its mission and goals. Many agencies have additional measures for internal management. Oregon Benchmarks are high-level societal measures that gauge how Oregon is doing as a whole. Where agency work aligns with benchmarks, agency performance measures represent stepping stones to achieving Oregon Benchmark targets. Agencies with no direct link to Oregon Benchmarks align their performance measures exclusively with their agency’s mission and goals.
