Guide to the Approval of Strategic Outcomes and Program Activity Architectures

I didn't think this document was available to the general public, but it is, and here is the link:

This is the guide on the approval process for Strategic Outcomes (SOs) and Program Activity Architecture (PAA). At least, this is the guide for the process for the 2010-2011 PAA.

For those who don't know, the SOs and PAA are the skeleton of the framework used by departments of the Government of Canada for public reporting.

Instructions (Guide) for Developing a Management, Resources, and Result Structure

This document is a set of instructions, although I see it more as a guide, to develop (or if you prefer, implement) Program Activity Architectures (PAA), Performance Measurement Frameworks (PMF) and Management, Resources, and Results Structure (MRRS).

I found it useful. Constructive criticism: the pages showing the PMF tables didn't print out well on letter size paper in portrait layout. If I remember correctly, those pages are towards the end and print out well on landscape legal. I wish they would have made a pdf file, probably would have avoided this type of problem, and it would have made the document more portable and sharable.
