Measuring progress and performance
Comparing plan against actual
Taking action
A system for determining what data to collect, analyzing that data; and reporting current progress is
called a project ____ system. - correct answer ✔monitoring
In project monitoring information systems, ___ determine(s) what data to collect. - correct answer
✔the metrics used for project control
, What is the second step in building a project monitoring information system? - correct answer ✔Data
collection and analysis
Control is a process of comparing actual performance against plan to identify deviations, evaluate
possible alternative courses of actions, and take appropriate corrective action. - correct answer ✔true

is ___. - correct answer ✔comparing planned against actual performance
The fourth step in the project control process of the measurement and evaluation of project
performance is to ____________. - correct answer ✔take necessary corrective actions
