Why each option
Stakeholders request weekly performance reports primarily to monitor the project's advancement and assess its current status against the planned schedule and scope.
Notifying the team that the project has started is a one-time communication at the project's outset, not a recurring weekly report.
While performance issues might be addressed, the primary purpose of a general performance report is not to criticize individual team members but to inform stakeholders about overall project status.
Monitoring change requests is a specific project control activity; while a performance report might mention change request status, its main goal is broader project progress, not solely change request tracking.
Weekly performance reports provide stakeholders with regular updates on project activities, milestones achieved, and any deviations from the plan. This allows them to effectively track the project's progress, identify potential issues early, and ensure the project remains on track to meet its objectives.
