Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 198

You are the program manager of the JNH Program. Tom, a project manager in your program, has just completed his project and is ready to officially close his project. You agree that Tom's project is completed. What role do you play in Tom's project closure?

Answer options

• A. You must ensure that the project sponsor closes the project.
• B. You must ensure that that the projects within the program have been closed at the project level.
• C. You must close the project before operations closes the project.
• D. You must ensure that the program management team closes the project for the project manager.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because as the program manager, your responsibility includes ensuring that all projects within the program are closed appropriately at the project level. Option A is incorrect as it focuses on the project sponsor rather than the program manager's role, while C and D incorrectly imply direct closure responsibilities that are not solely yours.
