Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 114

A program manager for the construction of an international event venue that will impact the local community needs to determine the best approach for communications. One of the conditions of the program is that after the event takes place, a park will be built for the community's use.
What should the program manager do to ensure community support?

Answer options

• A. Review the scope with the program sponsor and community representatives
• B. Organize an advocacy group and facilitate community engagement
• C. Negotiate the program scope with community representatives
• D. Ensure community representatives are part of the steering committee

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because organizing an advocacy group and facilitating community engagement directly involves the community in the decision-making process, which fosters support and trust. The other options, while valuable, do not actively involve the community in a way that builds advocacy and collective support for the project.
