Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 287

During initiation of a program component, a program manager asks a component manager to design the component's key performance indicators (KPIs) in compliance with the overall program KPIs. During which phase is this activity occurring?

Answer options

• A. Program planning phase
• B. Component transition phase
• C. Program delivery phase
• D. Component oversight phase

Correct answer: A

Explanation

This activity is taking place during the Program planning phase, which focuses on defining how the program and its components will achieve their objectives, including setting KPIs. The other phases, such as Component transition, Program delivery, and Component oversight, involve implementation, execution, and monitoring rather than the initial design of KPIs.
