You are the program manager for the JQN Program in your organization. There have been some delays in your schedule and you're about to perform some schedule control activities. Which one of the following will not help you as you perform schedule control?
Change requests are typically an output of schedule control activities and are not directly used to perform schedule control. Instead, performance reports, forecasts, and earned value management are essential tools and techniques used in the analysis and control of the schedule. Performance reports provide insights into the project’s current status, forecasts predict future performance, and earned value management measures project performance and progress in an integrated manner.
A is correct change requests are a part of managing the schedule (as they may result from schedule control activities), they are not a tool or technique used to perform schedule control. Instead, they are typically an output of the schedule control process when adjustments to the schedule are needed. The other options—performance reports, forecasts, and earned value management—are more directly involved in analyzing and controlling the schedule.
