Performance Measures The basis of these performance measures is S.M.A.R.T. Program Outcomes. Outcomes are the benefits or results a program has for its customers, clients, or participants. This allows programs to shift away from simply measuring outputs defined as the number of goods or activities provided or the number of clients served. Outcomes measure the good the program accomplishes. For example, academic achievement can be measured by looking at improvements made by students on test scores or report cards.

Performance Measures Make sure your outcome measures are "S.M.A.R.T.
