Every four years, Loudoun County, Virginia, produces its program review (loudoun.gov/programreview), a comprehensive inventory of the programs the county provides to achieve its goals and mission, including information on service levels and performance for each program. The county recently released its FY 2024 Program Review, the result of nearly 18 months of collaboration among all county departments. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) led the development of the program review and intends to use it to help guide budget decision-making over the next four years. Megan Bourke, OMB director, explained that this project had two goals. The first was, of course, to produce the program review document, and the second goal was “teaching the organization about the concepts and getting them thinking in a new way.”
