Updating the Stage Plan with Actual

C.

During the Controlling a Stage process, the stage plan is monitored to ensure that the project is on track and that the plan is being followed. Any deviation from the plan needs to be identified, analyzed, and addressed in a timely manner. This helps to keep the project on track and minimize any negative impacts.

The activity that is responsible for updating the stage plan with actual during Controlling a Stage is "Review work package status" (Option B). Work packages are the lowest level of the project management hierarchy and represent the smallest units of work that are assigned to team members. Each work package has a set of defined objectives, a schedule, and a budget.

During the Controlling a Stage process, the progress of each work package is reviewed to determine whether it is on track, behind schedule, or ahead of schedule. This information is then used to update the stage plan with actual progress. The work package status review involves comparing the actual progress made against the planned progress, identifying any variances, and taking corrective action to bring the project back on track.

While the other options listed (A, C, and D) are also important activities during Controlling a Stage, they are not specifically responsible for updating the stage plan with actual progress. Reviewing the stage status (Option A) involves monitoring the overall progress of the project and identifying any issues or risks that need to be addressed. Reporting highlights (Option C) involves providing updates to stakeholders on the progress of the project. Taking corrective action (Option D) involves addressing any issues or risks that have been identified during the review process. However, none of these activities are specifically responsible for updating the stage plan with actual progress.
