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?
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.
