Program Performance Management

Question

You work as a program manager for a large construction program. Your program includes constructing hotels across the country. You collect information on the status of the program. During comparison with the original plan you find the 200 hotels have been completed as against 275 hotels planned as of today. In which program process are you working on?

Why each option

Comparing actual project completions against the planned baseline is performed within the Monitor and Control Project Performance process.

AMonitor and Control Program Scope

Monitor and Control Program Scope focuses on whether the work being performed is within the defined scope boundaries, not on schedule or delivery quantity comparisons.

BMonitor and Control Program Schedule

Monitor and Control Program Schedule focuses specifically on timeline and schedule variances, whereas the scenario describes a deliverable quantity comparison rather than a date or duration variance.

CMonitor and Control Project PerformanceCorrect

Monitor and Control Project Performance involves collecting performance data from constituent projects and comparing results against the program management plan baseline. Identifying that 200 hotels are completed versus the 275 planned is a performance variance analysis activity that falls squarely within this monitoring and controlling process, which tracks overall program delivery against planned targets.

DManage Program Issues

Manage Program Issues addresses identified issues and their resolution, not performance measurement against the baseline plan.
