Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 138

A company is evaluating the implementation of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. The program manager performs an analysis to confirm the program's feasibility.
What other important step should the program manager complete?

Answer options

• A. Development of the program's vision statement
• B. Review of strategic goals against any external environmental factors
• C. Identification and documentation of the initial risks for ERP software implementation
• D. Mapping of the financial benefits to the ERP software's functionality

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Identifying and documenting the initial risks for ERP software implementation is vital as it helps the program manager anticipate potential issues that could arise during the project. While developing a vision statement, reviewing strategic goals, and mapping financial benefits are all important, they do not directly address the risk management aspect that is critical for successful ERP implementation.
