Why each option
When governance specifically asks about benefits progress for a program, the program manager should present the Program Benefits Report, which tracks benefits realization status.
The Program Benefits Report provides a structured view of the program's progress toward its intended benefits, including delivery status, performance metrics, and variances against the benefits realization plan. Because governance asked specifically about benefits - not overall program health or financial justification - this is the correct and targeted artifact to present.
The Program Business Case justifies the program's initiation and investment decision; it does not report on ongoing benefits realization progress.
While portfolio managers aggregate status information, governance directed the question to the program manager about a specific program's benefits, making the Program Benefits Report the direct and appropriate response.
The Program Management Plan describes how the program will be executed and governed; it does not report on the current status of benefits realization.
