Since it became a full program in 2018, the Performance & Analytics Department (PandA) continues work to maintain and expand Get It Done, and to implement improvements based on feedback from residents, employees, and City leadership. Improvements are driven by people’s needs – to make Get It Done simple and easy 2 for customers, and to provide employees with tools required to effectively respond to reports and workloads.
