The Office of Planning and Performance Management's goals are to support data-driven decisions through evidence building efforts, shifting away from compliance activities and toward actions that will support the availability of high-quality data and transparency, to ensure programs and projects deliver critical services to the American public efficiently and effectively. 

The Office is responsible for the implementation of the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA), the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018 (Evidence Act), the Federal Agency Performance Act of 2024 (FAPA), and the Program Management Improvement Accountability Act of 2016 (PMIAA).
