Each year, every Executive Branch agency in Colorado creates a SMART Act performance plan which identifies meaningful performance objectives, and strategies to achieve them. Progress on the agency's goals is reported monthly on the Governor's Dashboard. Executive Directors also report on their plans to the legislature every January during SMART Act hearings.
