A revised project schedule is treated similarly to which schedule for monitoring?

• A. Master schedule
• B. Progress schedule
• C. Baseline schedule
• D. Project schedule

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that schedule monitoring relies on a stable reference plan. The baseline schedule is the approved plan used as the benchmark to measure how work is progressing against what was originally planned. When the schedule is revised to reflect updated realities, that revised plan is treated as the new reference for measurement—essentially a re-baseline. This makes the revised project schedule the same kind of monitoring standard as the baseline, allowing you to assess variances, forecast remaining work, and take corrective actions. Other schedules (master, progress, project) play related roles in planning or updating, but the measure against which performance is continually checked is the baseline (and its revisions).
