Despite receiving regular updates, a sponsor learns a project recently slipped. Which of the following documents can the sponsor review to determine the project's performance? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• AStatus report
• BCommunication plan
• CIssue log
• DProject schedule
• EAction items list
• FRisk register

• A
  88% (35)
• B
  3% (1)
• E
  8% (3)
• F
  3% (1)

Explanation

The status report (A) is the primary document for project performance - it summarizes schedule, cost, and scope progress, including any slippage, and is specifically designed for stakeholder consumption. The issue log (C) captures current problems affecting the project, providing insight into what went wrong and why the project slipped. Together, these two documents give the sponsor a clear picture of both performance metrics and the underlying problems. Option B (communication plan) describes how communication is conducted, not performance data. Option D (project schedule) shows planned vs. actual dates but lacks the narrative context of what caused the slip. Options E (action items) and F (risk register) are management tools that do not directly report on performance status.
