Question #: 106
Topic #: 1
[All PMI-SP Questions]

Robert is the project manager for his organization. Management has asked Robert to provide them

with the metric he uses to measure deliverables status, costs incurred, and especially how he

measures the schedule progress for schedule adherence. What project component could Robert

provide for management?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Work performance measurements are metrics that are defined to collect performance

and progress of the project. Typical metrics are

deliverables, schedule, and costs, though additional metrics, such as quality, can be added.

Work performance measurements are created from the work performance information. WPMs are

an output of Control schedule, Control cost,

and Control scope processes, which are monitoring and controlling processes. WPMs consist of

planned versus actual performance indicators

with respect to scope, schedule, and cost. They are documented and communicated to the

stakeholders and are used to make project activity

metrics, such as the following:

Planned vs. Actual Technical performance and Scope performance

Planned vs. Actual Schedule performance

Planned vs. Actual Cost performance

Answer option D is incorrect. The project management plan is too broad and is not the best choice.

Answer option B is incorrect. The cost management plan and the project schedule would not provide

all the information that management has

requested.

Answer option A is incorrect. The milestone list does not include performance metrics.

Wait, can one component really measure all that? Seems off.

The project management plan seems too broad for what management is asking. I think they want something more specific like a milestone list or performance metrics.

I'm pretty confident that the correct answer is C, work performance measurements. That's the project component that would directly address the metrics they're looking for on deliverables, costs, and schedule progress.

Okay, I think the key here is that they're specifically asking for the project component that Robert could provide. A milestone list doesn't seem to fully address the question, so I'm leaning towards either B or C.

Hmm, I'm a bit torn between B and C. The cost management and project schedule could provide the metrics they want, but the work performance measurements might be a more direct answer. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems straightforward - the project management plan would likely include all the metrics and measurements that management is looking for, so I'll go with option D.

Haha, A) Milestone list? Come on, that's like giving your boss a to-do list and calling it progress. Not very helpful, if you ask me.
