Which is a tool used in monitoring and controlling project work?

Question

Options

• AWork performance information
• BProject management information system (PMIS)
• CActivity duration estimates
• DScheduled network analysis

• A
  5% (3)
• B
  71% (45)
• C
  8% (5)
• D
  16% (10)

Explanation

B is correct because a Project Management Information System (PMIS) is an actual tool - software or systems used to collect, store, and distribute project data - making it directly useful for monitoring and controlling project work (tracking schedules, costs, risks, etc.).

A (Work performance information) is an output of the Monitor and Control process, not a tool - it's the result you get after using tools like PMIS.

C (Activity duration estimates) is an output of the Plan Schedule Management process, used in planning, not monitoring/controlling.

D (Schedule network analysis) is a technique used during schedule development (planning phase), not a monitoring/controlling tool.

Memory tip: Think of PMIS as the "dashboard" on a car - it's the instrument panel you use to monitor and control how the project is running. The other options are either data you produce or analysis you did back in the planning garage.
