Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
To approve changes to baselined products
Why it's wrong here
Approving changes to baselined products is handled through change control and the Change Authority, not the Product Status Account. The Product Status Account reports the status of products, so it would be correct when status information on products is needed.
- ✗
To document product descriptions
Why it's wrong here
Product Descriptions are documented in the Product Description itself, not the Product Status Account. The Product Status Account exists to report the status of products within a stage or project, so it would be the right artefact when status reporting is required.
- ✓
To report on the status of products in the project
Why this is correct
The Product Status Account provides a snapshot of the current state of each product in the project, recording which are complete, in progress or approved. It gives the project manager visibility of product status for reporting and control.
- ✗
To record changes to products
Why it's wrong here
Recording changes to products is done through the Change Log and configuration management, not the Product Status Account. The Product Status Account reports the status of products, so it would be the right artefact when status reporting on products is required.
