ABSTRACT
This chapter contains practice questions to help readers hone their knowledge and test their skills on program performance monitoring and controlling. With an easy-to-use format, this is an ideal resource for those preparing to take the PgMP® exam. Program managers track component progress to ensure overall goals, schedule, budget, and benefits are met. The costs, risks, and other options are assessed to select the approach that is best for benefit delivery. General and background information about the program are provided to team members and components. The program team gathers it, analyzes it, and distributes it back within the program. New financial forecasts are communicated according to the program's communications management plan. The program manager shares resources among different components such that interdependencies do not delay benefits delivery. He/she is responsible for determining affected components when a scope change is requested and for updating the Program Work Breakdown Structure.
