Why each option
A status report consolidates project health information including percent complete, schedule progress, and budget - making it the primary reference when no handover meeting occurred.
A project schedule shows task timelines and dependencies but does not include budget constraints or a rolled-up percent completion summary.
A balanced scorecard is a strategic performance management framework used at the organizational level, not a project-level document tracking schedule or budget progress.
An issue log records problems and risks that arise during the project but does not contain schedule progress or budget status information.
A status report is a comprehensive project document that captures percent of completion, schedule progress, and budget constraints in a single snapshot. It is specifically designed to communicate overall project performance to stakeholders and is the standard artifact a new project manager would consult to quickly understand current project standing. Unlike other documents, it aggregates the exact three data points referenced in the question.
