Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 119

A program manager assigns project managers to five component projects and continues to develop the program team.
Which of the following represents the program manager's strategy?

Answer options

• A. Rotate the responsibility for risk assessment among the program components
• B. Coach the project managers to manage project resources
• C. Cross-train the project managers to share expertise
• D. Prepare the project managers to assume larger roles with more responsibility

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, indicates that the program manager is implementing a strategy of distributing risk assessment duties across the project components, promoting a shared understanding of risks. Options B and D focus on coaching and preparing project managers for resource management and greater responsibilities, which do not directly relate to the strategy of risk assessment. Option C involves cross-training, which while beneficial, does not address the risk assessment strategy being employed.
