Criteria

Agreed standards, rules, or test conditions that provide the basis for making decisions or for judging the quality and performance of a product, service, deliverable, or process.

Key Points

  • Provide an objective, measurable basis for decisions and evaluations.
  • Should be defined and documented early in planning (e.g., acceptance, selection, or exit criteria).
  • May be qualitative or quantitative and can be weighted to compare alternatives.
  • Must be clear, testable, and verifiable through inspection, measurement, or analysis.

Example

In vendor selection, the team establishes evaluation criteria such as total cost (40%), technical capability (30%), schedule compliance (20%), and past performance (10%), with a minimum technical score of 70%. Proposals are scored against these criteria to choose the supplier.

PMP Example Question

During Plan Procurement Management, the team wants an objective way to compare vendor proposals. What should they develop to guide their decision?

  1. Assumption log
  2. Evaluation/selection criteria
  3. Change control system
  4. Stakeholder register

Correct Answer: B — Evaluation/selection criteria

Explanation: Evaluation or selection criteria are the standards, rules, or tests used to judge proposals objectively and support a fair procurement decision.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
