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?

A.
Milestone list

B.
Cost management and the project schedule

C.
Work performance measurements

D.
Project management plan

Explanation:
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.
