Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 164

At the beginning of the second year of a five-year strategic cycle, the program management team attends a checkpoint session to review the state of the company's strategy. During the previous year, the company needed to comply with new government regulations that impacted this strategy.
Based on this information, what should the program manager do?

Answer options

• A. Update the program management, benefits management, and risk management plans, and modify priorities and interdependencies.
• B. Meet with stakeholders, and modify the program roadmap to comply with the new regulations and ensure strategic alignment.
• C. Obtain stakeholder approval to stop or postpone programs that fail to comply with the new regulations, and modify the program roadmap.
• D. Review resource capacity and capability, program priorities, and interdependencies, and create a change request to modify the program roadmap to ensure strategic alignment.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it involves a comprehensive review of resources and priorities to ensure the program remains aligned with the strategic goals after regulatory changes. Options A, B, and C focus on specific aspects but do not encompass the broader evaluation and request for change necessary to adapt to the new requirements effectively.
