PMHUB-G difference between distribute information and report performance?

Can any one suggest me fundamental difference between distribute information and report performance?
By reading PMBOK-4 it looks like report performance is subset of distrubute information.

PMHUB-G PMP Exam Tip: Why do we use a Probability and Impact Matrix?

The probability and impact matrix sounds very complicated, but the concept is actually something that most people use in their everyday life quite frequently, although in a simpler form.

The probability and impact matrix comes into play when the project manager or team members determine that a particular phase or activity within the project contains a certain amount of risk. That risk needs to be quantified.

PMHUB-G Risk Question and answer

You are conducting a status meeting and monitoring your risk register when you discover a risk that
remains even after you implement all of your response strategies. What kind of risk is this and what should you
do about it?
It's a secondary risk. You don't need to worry about it.
It's a residual risk. You need to plan a response strategy for it.
It's a residual risk. You don't need to plan a response strategy for it because you've already implemented all of
the risk responses you can plan for.
It's a contingency reserve. You should only use it if the first risk occurs.

Re: PMHUB-G A simple Q&A

This is not unfortunate, rather this is fortunate. One should not be the judge and party at same time. One might be performing really bad due to how PM handles the project. Same person could be the key of success for many other projects.

RE: PMHUB-G A simple Q&A

Hi Ricardo,

Unfortunately, many people with the title “Project Manager” do NOT have the ability to fire people from the organization.  They can remove them from the project, but not fire them from the company.

 

Worse yet, in MANY organizations, project managers have little or no choice who is on their project team…..

PMHUB-G Question on Control Charts

One of the important advantages of using control charts in managing a production operation is that the control chart tells you when to take corrective action on the process being controlled. Another important result of using control charts is:
a. The control chart identifies the special causes
b. The control chart tells you when you should not take corrective action
c. The control chart shows how much the defects are costing
d. The control chart shows who is responsible for the defects

make sure that you read the discussions, especially the last post by PMPodcast

Re: PMHUB-G A simple Q&A

Definitely not true in corporate America.  And what about the program that I am working on now where my core team consists of all CEOs, COOs, Presidents and VPs?  Who the heck has the authority as a PM to fire them?  Even in a midrange level of a project in a large corporation, you do not have the authority to fire personnel.  Clearly your projects have been small and consisting of lower level personnel.
 
While it is true that most PMs do not have the authority to terminate the employees, there are other avenues to play out.  As a PM, you should have the ability to assess the people on your project when you walk in the door, and fine tune your communication and people skills to turn your project into a well played orchestra.  If that doesn't work, as there are truly difficult people who do not respond to anything, there is always escalation, to the point of removing them from the project.  Again, depending upon the project/progam, sometimes you are stuck with everyone on the project, and you have to do your best to work around the situation and still deliver.

Question: A team member on the project is consistently delivering her work packages late and below the required quality standards. The issue has been discussed with her several times but no improvement was visible. As project manager you decide that it is time to employ coercive power. What measure will you implement?

If they do not have authority to fire people that means they are not the project manager.

PMHUB-G "If you can't change the person, change the person!"

In situations like this, I recommend serious consideration be given to advice offered by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf KCB also known as "Stormin' Norman" and "The Bear".

 

He is rumored to have said (more than once) . . . “If you can’t change the person, change the person!”

PMHUB-G Some Tips from Apex

Some tips:
1. Remember all your formulas. I had 10-15 formula questions. couple of them add too much of info. Be careful as that too much info might confuse you.
2. Don't worry if you can't answer 3-4 questions in row. The hard questions come in bunch of 3-4 so don't panic. More then 50% questions are really easy if you understand the processes, ITTOs and formulas well.

PMHUB-G Jayesh PMP this April 12

ITTOs are must .. but try and link them to the process.
I had some very nasty question where none of the answers seemed right, or I had answers never seen or heard about, dont get confused stick to your basics and if still you cant decide on right answer, take a guess mark and move ahead.
Be active on the group, it helps ..

PMHUB-G Tips and Hints from Hamburg for passing the PMP Exam

Christoph Piotrowski - Hamburg

http://www.pmhub.net/wp/2010/12/tips-hints-passed-pmp-exam/
PMP Study Guide by Joseph Phillips
I used this book to repeat everything that I had learned before reading PMBOK Guide and listening to the PMPrepCast episodes. The book was just great for me: there is a lot of summarizing repetition after each chapter ("two minute drills") of well presented material. Reading was quite easy and effective.  (PMHUB:  ClickTHIS to view more details)

PMHUB-G NEED your FEEDBACK on GGUNA all-in-one PMP Exam study tools


Towards the below given comment by hobbescat:
In ITTO section when "Performance Reviews" tool is selected, only "Control Schedule" was shown. i reckon that it is also a tool in "Control Costs".

In Control costs, ITTO was documented as Project Performance Reviews, thats why it didnt show up. now it has been corrected. Thank you very much for identifying the discrepancy.

here is the updated version.:
