Which of the following statements are true regarding program scope statement? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. It defines all the work and only the required work for the program.
• B. It formally authorizes the program.
• C. It sets authorities and limits for the program manager and team.
• D. It represents a common understanding of the program for the purpose of facilitating communication among the stakeholders.

Correct answer: A, C, D

Explanation

The correct options A, C, and D accurately reflect the purpose of a program scope statement, which includes defining necessary work, setting boundaries for management, and ensuring clear communication. Option B is incorrect because while the scope statement is important, it does not serve as the formal authorization for the program; that typically comes from a project charter or similar document.
