To assess the status on your project, you call a meeting of the project team and analyze the project performance based on earned value figures as of today. You find that some of the activities are behind schedule and that the organization is spending more than the planned costs on other activities. What would be an output of this meeting?
- Change requests would be an output of this meeting. Change requests come up after an analysis of project performance, and these requested changes are an output of the Report Performance process. Change requests refer to requests made to change some aspects of the project based on performance evaluation. Requested changes are an input to the Perform Integrated Change Control process. Change requests usually result in changes to the schedule, cost, or scope. All requested changes should be recorded in the change log, even if the change request was denied.
Rework is an output of the Perform Quality Control process. Rework is required when requested changes are rejected. This occurs AFTER the change requests are accepted or rejected. Lessons learned document the causes of variances in project performance, the detailing of reasons for all corrective actions taken, and other lessons learned in controlling various aspects of the project. Approved corrective actions refer to approved actions taken to align the expected future project performance with the project plan. While recommended corrective actions might be an output of this meeting, these recommended corrective actions would need to go through the change control process to be approved. Therefore, they would not be approved yet.
