1 Background and Purpose
In April 201l, the Director of the Census Bureau formally commissioned a team to conduct a comprehensive review of the American Community Survey (ACS) program. The review is composed of eight components—four internal and four external. The four internal include: the Strategic Review, the Program Management Process Review, the Systems Engineering and Integration Process Review, and the Business Process Improvement Review. The four external components include: the Communications and Stakeholder Management Review, the Methodological Review, the Research and Evaluation Review, and the Data Products Review. The Director would like to get feedback from external stakeholders on these four external components. The purpose of this document is to explain how the Program Review Communications Team will solicit and compile the stakeholder feedback, which will occur between February and June 2012.
2 Objectives and Scope
The overall objective is to implement a manageable and appropriate program review engagement approach for a wide array of stakeholders. The result of the engagement will be a summary of the feedback received through this process that will be provided to a National Research Council panel, which is reviewing ACS methods and data products. Additionally, we want to use the program review stakeholder engagement approach as a prototype for ongoing communications and stakeholder engagement efforts for the ACS program.
