PMI Exam PMI-SP Topic 6 Question 45 Discussion

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.
