Checking and confirming compliance with performance standards.

• A. Management of Change
• B. Performance Standard Verification
• C. Information Management
• D. Work Preparation & Scheduling

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is confirming that what’s being done actually meets the defined performance criteria. This is performance standard verification: you have a standard that specifies how something should perform, you gather objective evidence through measurements, inspections, tests, or monitoring, and you compare the actual results to the criteria to determine whether compliance is achieved. The process also records any deviations and documents corrective actions, providing traceability and confidence that the standard is being met consistently.

Other activities aren’t about this direct confirmation of performance. Management of Change deals with evaluating and controlling the impact of proposed changes on existing systems; Information Management focuses on how data is collected, stored, and shared; Work Preparation & Scheduling centers on planning and sequencing tasks. While they’re important, they don’t specifically address verifying that performance standards are being met.
