Action Plan

Results Madison will be phased in from 2021 through 2026 in order to achieve full implementation for the 2027 budget, where we will fully realize results-oriented, service-level budgeting. The general rollout:

  1. Provide an opportunity for City agencies to revisit their service inventory, performance measures, and data action plans in 2021
  2. Pilot one agency in 2022
  3. Update chart of accounts (i.e., financial account structure for services) for 1/3 of agencies each year, starting in December of 2022
  4. Migrate 1/3 of agencies to new services for each budget, starting with the 2024 budget
