Why each option
Portfolio reports provide aggregated, portfolio-level information including resource data for senior management review.
The Portfolio Management Plan describes how the portfolio will be managed - it is a planning document, not a source of current resource status information.
Portfolio reports consolidate and summarize information across the entire portfolio, including resource allocation and utilization data, making them the correct source for a senior manager seeking resource information at the portfolio level.
Portfolio component reports provide status at the individual component level, not aggregated portfolio-level resource information.
A Resource Calendar shows resource availability schedules but does not provide the comprehensive portfolio-level resource information a senior manager would need.
