Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 140

A program manager is concerned that a program will be unable to achieve its intended benefits.
How should the program manager handle this concern?

Answer options

• A. Meet with the program management office (PMO) to review critical program success factors.
• B. Meet with the component project managers to reallocate resources within the program.
• C. Meet with the program stakeholders to determine if a reduction in program scope is acceptable.
• D. Meet with the component project managers to perform risk analysis.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because reviewing critical program success factors with the PMO can help identify any issues that could prevent the program from achieving its benefits. Options B and C focus on resource allocation and scope reduction, which may not directly address the underlying concerns, while option D, performing a risk analysis, is important but does not prioritize understanding the success factors as effectively as option A does.
