Abstract: The need for measuring, within a quantitative framework, both the degree of achievement and the value (i.e., benefit) to society of government sponsored programs is a major challenge and dilemma. The objective of this paper is to propose the use of a method which would not only address this problem but also provide a systematic way of tracking the performance of complex programs over a specified time period. For the purposes of this paper, a complex program is defined as one that contains a system of subactivities that by design purposefully interact, combine, modify or duplicate each other in order to achieve the overall goals of the program.
