Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 268

Which of the following documents provides the mandate to execute the program within a certain timeline and also presents milestones for the delivery of products or incremental benefits?

Answer options

• A. Program architecture baseline
• B. Program risk register
• C. Program WBS
• D. Program charter

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Program charter is the document that officially authorizes the program and outlines its objectives, timeline, and milestones. The Program architecture baseline focuses on the structure, while the Program risk register identifies potential risks, and the Program WBS breaks down the work, but none provide the same level of authorization and timeline as the Program charter.
