Explanation

Quality and technical performance measures are actual performance indicators that reflect the real-time status of a project. A WBS (A) is a scope decomposition tool used in planning, not for measuring status. Cost and scope baselines (C) are reference points for comparison, not status reports on their own. A business case (D) is an initiating document. To understand project status, a PM needs performance measures-data on how the project is actually performing against quality and technical objectives.
