A program manager is preparing the quarterly performance report for the steering committee. The report must include actual versus planned values for scope, quality, cost, schedule, and resource data. The program's cost performance index (CPI) is 0.95, and the schedule performance index (SPI) is 0.90. The program's quality metrics are within acceptable thresholds. The program manager notices that the resource utilization is above planned levels, which is driving the cost overrun. What should the program manager include in the report?

The resource utilization data only, because the cost and schedule variances are already known.

The cost and schedule variances, along with the resource utilization data and its impact on the cost overrun.
