Which TWO items are typically included in a project status report?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between a summary status report and a detailed project document; the trap here is that candidates mistake a comprehensive risk register or meeting minutes as part of a status report, when in fact they are separate artifacts with different purposes and audiences.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Accomplishments since last report
Project status reports are designed to provide a snapshot of progress and health. 'Accomplishments since last report' (B) is a standard section that tracks completed milestones and tasks, enabling stakeholders to see forward momentum. 'Budget spent to date' (E) is a core financial metric that compares actual costs against the planned budget, which is essential for cost control and forecasting.
