Explanation

Performance measurements are the output of the Control Schedule process specifically designed to document and communicate calculated metrics - including Schedule Variance (SV) and Schedule Performance Index (SPI) - to stakeholders, making C correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A. Performance organizations - not a recognized PMBOK output; organizations are entities, not information deliverables.
  • B. Schedule baselines - a baseline is an input that defines the approved plan; it doesn't report current performance status.
  • D. Change requests - these are outputs when corrective/preventive action is needed, but they request changes, not communicate performance metrics.

Memory tip: Think of it this way - you measure performance to communicate it. SV and SPI are numbers you calculate and then package into performance measurements to share with stakeholders. If the question mentions SV, SPI, or "status to stakeholders," the answer is almost always performance measurements.
