Work performance information
“Work Performance Information” is an input for the process “Monitor and Control Project Work “.
Work performance information is the performance data collected from various controlling processes, analyzed in context, and integrated based on relationships across areas. Thus work performance data has been transformed into work performance information. Data in itself cannot be used in the decision-making process as it has only out-of-context meaning. Work performance information, however, is correlated and contextualized, and provides a sound foundation for project decisions.
Work performance information is circulated through communication processes. Examples of performance information are status of deliverables, implementation status for change requests, and forecasted estimates to complete.
“Work Performance Information” is an output for the process “Validate Scope”.
Work performance information includes information about project progress, such as which deliverables have started, their progress, which deliverables have finished, or which have been accepted. This information is documented and communicated to stakeholders.
“Work Performance Information” is an output for the process “Control Scope”.
Work performance information produced includes correlated and contextualized information on how the project scope is performing compared to the scope baseline. It can include the categories of the changes received, the identified scope variances and their causes, how they impact schedule or cost, and the forecast of the future scope performance. This information provides a foundation for making scope decisions.
“Work Performance Information” is an output for the process “Control Schedule”.
The calculated SV and SPI time performance indicators for WBS components, in particular the work packages and control accounts, are documented and communicated to stakeholders.
“Work Performance Information” is an output for the process “Control costs”.
The calculated CV, SV, CPI, SPI, TCPI, and VAC values for WBS components, in particular the work packages and control accounts, are documented and communicated to stakeholders.
“Work Performance Information” is an output for the process “Control Quality “.
Work performance information is the performance data collected from various controlling processes, analyzed in context and integrated based on relationships across areas. Examples include information about the project requirements fulfillment such as causes for rejections, rework required, or the need for process adjustments.
“Work Performance Information” is an output for the process “Control communications “.
Work performance information organizes and summarizes the performance data gathered. This performance data typically provides status and progress information on the project at the level of detail required by the various stakeholders. This information is then communicated to the appropriate stakeholders.
“Work Performance Information” is an output for the process “Control Risks”.
Work performance information, as a Control Risks output, provides a mechanism to communicate and support project decision making.
“Work Performance Information” is an output for the process “Control Procurements “.
Work performance information provides a basis for identification of current or potential problems to support later claims or new procurements. By reporting on the performance of a vendor, the organization increases knowledge of the performance of the procurement, which supports improved forecasting, risk management, and decision making. Performance reports also assist in the event there is a dispute with the vendor.
Work performance information includes reporting compliance of contracts, which provides procuring organizations a mechanism to track specific deliverables expected and received from vendors. Contract compliance reports support improved communications with vendors so that potential issues are addressed promptly to the satisfaction of all parties.
“Work Performance Information” is an output for the process “Control Stakeholder Engagement”.
The work performance information is the performance data collected from various controlling processes, analyzed in context, and integrated based on relationships across areas. Thus work performance data have been transformed into work performance information. Data per se are not used in the decision-making process, because the meaning may be misinterpreted. Information, however, is correlated and contextualized and provides a sound foundation for project decisions.
Work performance information is circulated through communication processes. Examples of performance information are status of deliverables, implementation status for change requests, and forecasted estimates to complete.
