Which of the following are outputs of the Monitor and Control Project Work process?

Question

Options

• ARequested changes, forecasts, recommended corrective actions
• BForecasts, resources plan, bottom up estimating
• CRecommended corrective actions, cost baseline, forecasts
• DRequested changes, recommended corrective actions, project constraints

• A
  80% (52)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  8% (5)
• D
  11% (7)

Explanation

Option A is correct because Requested changes, Forecasts, and Recommended corrective actions are all recognized outputs of the Monitor and Control Project Work process per the PMBOK Guide - this process analyzes project performance and produces change requests, performance forecasts, and recommendations to keep the project on track.

Why the distractors fail:

• B is wrong because "resources plan" is a planning output and "bottom-up estimating" is a cost estimation technique, not an output of this process.
• C is wrong because "cost baseline" is an output of the Determine Budget process, not Monitor and Control Project Work - baselines are set during planning, not monitoring.
• D is wrong because "project constraints" are inputs (part of the project management plan context), not outputs generated by this process.

Memory tip: Think of Monitor and Control Project Work as a process that produces action items - you watch the project, then output what needs to change (Requested changes), what to do about deviations (Recommended corrective actions), and where the project is headed (Forecasts). If an answer choice includes a planning artifact like a baseline or estimation technique, eliminate it immediately.
