Correct Answer:
C. Show historical trend of project KPI's; D. Print as a PDF attachment
Explanation

The project status report in ServiceNow is a key communication tool for stakeholders. It captures a snapshot of the project's health and progress. A primary feature is its ability to show historical trends for Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as cost, schedule, and scope, allowing managers and stakeholders to analyze performance over time. Furthermore, to facilitate sharing with individuals who may not have direct system access, the status report is designed to be easily exported and printed as a PDF document.

Why Incorrect

A. The Gantt chart is a detailed scheduling and dependency view found within the Project Workspace's Planning Console, not a direct component of the status report itself.
B. The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical view of project tasks, also managed within the Planning Console, and is distinct from the summary-level status report.
