Hello,
1. Reference to PMBOK Guide 6th Ed, Chapter 1.2.4.7.
2. Is PERT/CP an example of Project Management Data & Information?
3. In the context of engineering processes, if a test report is generated from NRE, does that also consider PMDI?
4. What other real-life examples related to work performance data, information and reports?
Thank you,

Here's a simple example of the relationship between WPD, WPI and WPR.
WPD: My project has spent $10,000 to date
WPI: My project was supposed to have spent $5,000 to deliver the same value, so I have a cost variance of $5,000
WPR: A project status report for the current period containing the cost variance along with a bunch of other useful WPI.
WPD is raw data - without context, a stakeholder can't make much of it. WPI is the outcome of the analysis on the WPD - often times comparing it against planned or expected results. WPR is a stakeholder consumable consolidation of WPI.

Hi Kiron, Those figures you shared are useful to understand the idea of Project Management Data & Information.
In general, it aims to translate raw data into readable information, and between these 2 processes, Executing and Controlling, raw data is compared with planned.
The output will be the variance which leads to the detailed findings and corrective action.
Ultimately, the last process Overall Project Control will produce a summarized report for stakeholder.
Keywords includes raw data, planned data, compare, variance, cause and corrective actions, summary report and stakeholder.
To this point, I hope my thoughts are aligned to Chapter 1.2.4.7. Project Management Data & Information.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Stéphane,
Yes, PERT and CP are techniques. I could have been focusing too specific on this area.
As much as I have google'd, time and schedule are often used. Little has I read about examples for "quality and technical performance measures". Ref: PMBOK 6th Ed Page 26.
I supposed it is referring to raw data produced during engineering test (NRE), like tensile test for steel material, x-ray test for mold castings or electrical test for PCB fabrications or ASIC chips.
Looks like WPD, WPI and WPR still apply. Correct me if im wrong.
