The strategic plan provides a roadmap for agencies to meet their goals and fulfill their missions. The plans include a set of measurable long-term goals for the organization. The goals should be based on outcomes, rather than activities or work processes.
Strategic plans cover a period of at least five years and are revised at least every three years.
Interior's plan includes an overview and eight bureau components. Interior's FY2000-2005 Strategic Plan was submitted to Congress in September 2000.
