Why each option

Tracking actual start and finish dates of projects against planned dates is the primary activity of the Monitor and Control Program Schedule process.

AReport Program Performance

Report Program Performance involves consolidating and communicating overall program status to stakeholders, not specifically tracking individual schedule dates.

BMonitor and Control Program Scope

Monitor and Control Program Scope addresses scope changes and baseline adherence, not schedule date tracking.

CMonitor and Control Program ScheduleCorrect

The Monitor and Control Program Schedule process is specifically focused on comparing actual schedule dates to planned dates, identifying variances, and taking corrective action to keep projects on track. Tracking start and finish dates directly maps to this process definition in the Standard for Program Management.

DMonitor and Control Program Performance
