Understand the difference between Work Performance Data, Work Performance Information, Work Performance Reports in PMBOK 5th Edition.

Work Performance Information is an input to most Monitoring and Controlling processes. It is used to generate Work Performance Measurements (SV, CV, SPI, CPI, ETC, EAC). Together, WPI, WPMs and Budget Forecasts are used to generate Performance Reports.

Performance Reports are used to communicate the project status to stakeholders. The distribution of Performance Reports is done as per the Communications Management Plan.

Work Performance Measurements are output of Monitoring and Controlling processes, and include planned versus actual performance indicators with respect to scope, schedule and cost. Work Performance Measurements are documented and communicated to the stakeholders.

Work Performance Information is an input to most Monitoring and Controlling processes and is used to generate Work Performance Measurements, which in turn help to generate forecasts.
