Why each option
A Program Management Information System (PMIS) is the centralized solution used to capture, store, and communicate all program data including work status, risks, changes, and benefits information.
A Program Management Information System (PMIS) is a standardized set of automated tools used to gather, integrate, and disseminate the outputs of all program management processes - it serves as the central repository for capturing and communicating program information including work performance data, risks, approved changes, and benefits tracking.
Integrated change control is a process for reviewing, approving, and managing changes, not a reporting or information capture system.
Change control systems are the procedures and tools dedicated to managing changes specifically, not a comprehensive system for capturing all program information.
Program management plan execution is a process describing how work is performed, not an information system or tool for capturing and reporting program data.
