   Management Agenda

The singular focus of IFMP is to support NASA's ability to achieve its Mission. NASA needs high performing business systems and processes to achieve its vision and mission for the future. When the program is fully implemented, NASA's financial and business communities will have access to a single integrated management system and related processes. This integration will give business managers access to consistent and real-time information – managers will have new visibility into day-to-day operations, allowing for more informed decision-making and management against mission and performance goals.
