Work Performance Information

Analyzed insights produced from performance data gathered during control processes, evaluated against elements of the project management plan, relevant project documents, and other work performance information.

Key Points

  • Created by analyzing control process data to interpret status, variances, trends, and forecasts.
  • Compared against plan components and baselines, plus related project documents.
  • Feeds decision-making, change requests, and the preparation of work performance reports.
  • More meaningful than raw data; it turns observations into context-rich information.

Example

During Control Schedule, the team reviews actual finish dates vs. the schedule baseline. They analyze slippage on critical path tasks and calculate SPI. The resulting insights about causes and impacts are work performance information, which then informs corrective actions and reporting.
