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.
Report Program Performance involves consolidating and communicating overall program status to stakeholders, not specifically tracking individual schedule dates.
Monitor and Control Program Scope addresses scope changes and baseline adherence, not schedule date tracking.
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.
Monitor and Control Program Performance is a broader process covering multiple performance dimensions beyond just the schedule.
