Information distribution involves making needed information available to project stakeholders in a timely manner. What is an output from information distribution?

  10% (5)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  82% (40)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Project records (C) are a direct output of information distribution because the process of distributing information to stakeholders produces documentation artifacts - meeting notes, correspondence, memos, and status reports - that become part of the formal project record.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Earned value analysis (A) is a tool/technique used in performance reporting, not an output of information distribution.
• Trend analysis (B) is also a tool/technique applied during performance reporting to examine results over time, not something produced by distributing information.
• Performance reviews (D) are a tool used to assess project progress - they feed into reporting processes rather than being produced by information distribution itself.

Memory tip: Think of information distribution as a "paper trail" process - whenever you share information with stakeholders, you leave behind records (emails, meeting minutes, status updates). Those records are the output. If a choice sounds like an analytical technique (analysis, review), it's a tool, not an output.
