Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 272

You are the program manager for your organization. Your current program, which has just been initiated, needs to launch several projects in order to create all of the benefits of the program. What document do you need to create in order to initiate the projects within your program?

Answer options

• A. Project charter
• B. Program charter
• C. Program scope statement
• D. Project preliminary scope statement

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, the Project charter, as it formally authorizes the project and outlines its objectives, which is essential for project initiation. The Program charter (B) pertains to the overall program rather than individual projects, while the Program scope statement (C) and Project preliminary scope statement (D) do not serve the purpose of initiating projects.
