What is this process called?

You are the Microsoft Project Server administrator for your company. You have recently upgraded
the hardware of your Microsoft Project Server farm. You and the project managers in your company
believe that it will be much faster. You have now created performance logs to measure the
throughput of the new server configuration to compare to past performance. What is this process
called?

A.
Performance baseline creation

B.
Step funding

C.
Before and after snapshot

D.
Performance measurement

Explanation:
Whenever Microsoft Project Server is installed or upgraded, you should create a performance
measurement baseline to see the before and after effect of the updated hardware. This allows you
to plan for scalability, track trends over time, and know when performance is lagging and
adjustments are needed.

D is incorrect. This is not just performance measurement, but the creation of a
performance baseline for your Microsoft Project Server.

C is incorrect. This is not a valid term or description of the process that is happening in this
scenario.

B is incorrect. Step funding describes the incremental funding of a project based on the
performance of the project to date. It is called step-funding because the funds follow the S-curve of
project performance towards project completion. Along the S-curve of the project, the funds are
provided stepwise to reach the next target milestone.
