• Work performance data. The raw observations and measurements identified during activities performed
to carry out the project work. Examples include reported percent of work physically completed, quality
and technical performance measures, start and finish dates of schedule activities, number of change
requests, number of defects, actual costs, actual durations, etc.
• Work performance information. The performance data collected from various controlling processes, 3
analyzed in context and integrated based on relationships across areas. Examples of performance
information are status of deliverables, implementation status for change requests, and forecasted
estimates to complete.
• Work performance reports. The physical or electronic representation of work performance information
compiled in project documents, intended to generate decisions or raise issues, actions, or awareness.
Examples include status reports, memos, justifications, information notes, electronic dashboards,
recommendations, and updates.
