The fact that an agency is profiled to illustrate the principles of a
particular planning step is not meant to imply complete success for
addressing the matter or lack of success for addressing other aspects
of workforce planning. Furthermore, the efforts in the examples do not
represent all the potential ways that an agency can implement workforce
planning or address the specific human capital issue being discussed.

We conducted our work in Washington, D.C., from March 2002 through
October 2003, in accordance with generally accepted government auditing
standards.
