TAM is part of a Strategic Management Framework in which government's social, ecological and financial service outcomes are achieved by the most efficient means and within the resource limits of the community.

The service objectives should be defined in an agency's Service Delivery Strategy, guidelines for which can be obtained in the 2006-07 Strategic Management Framework
