You work as a project manager for Honeywell Inc. You have been distributing performance information, including status reports, progress measurement, and forecasts to various stakeholders. A trainee of this company wants to know what are the inputs for generating performance reports. Which of the following are the necessary inputs? Each correct answer represents a part of the solution. Choose two.
According to the scenario, you can use the following inputs in order to generate
performance reports:
WPI: Work performance information is the data gathered on the status of the project schedule
activities that are performed to
accomplish the project work. This data is collected as part of the Direct and Manage Project
Execution processes. WPI includes the
following:
Deliverables status
Schedule Progress
Costs incurred
WPM: 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 A is incorrect. Variance analysis is an after-look at what caused a difference between
the baseline and the actual performance.
It is one of the tools and techniques used for report performance.
Answer option D is incorrect. Change requests are requests to expand or reduce the project scope,
modify policies, processes, plans, or
procedures, modify costs or budgets or revise schedules. These requests for a change can be direct
or indirect, externally or internally
initiated, and legally or contractually imposed or optional. A Project Manager needs to ensure that
only formally documented requested
changes are processed and only approved change requests are implemented.
