    This paper focuses on the performance of public management in Colombian municipalities by the methodology of performance measurement proposed by The National Planning Department by using outcome indicators from this methodology and matching them with key signs from the education, health, public services, and security sectors, based on databases from 2016 to 2022. The main goal is to analyze temporal performance patterns in these sectors across Colombian municipalities, considering their categorization under Law 617 of 2000. The study is methodologically based on a quantitative approach with correlational descriptive statistical indicators, which allows for analyzing the relationship between different variables without controlling them. The analysis combines statistical and visualization tools by using Google Colab and Python, enabling the evaluation of municipal performance in Colombia and identifying trends, regional disparities, and opportunities for improvement in public management. To finish, the security and health sectors, in that order, show the best performance at the national level, while access to education and public services are the most lagging. This study shows significant disparities in municipal performance across Colombia, highlighting the urgent need for specific public policy interventions. While the health and security sectors show fairly strong performance, enduring challenges remain in access to education and public services, especially in rural areas.
