Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 322

A program sponsor is concerned that a program investment may not realize the promised benefits. What should the program manager do to show the program sponsor that the program is delivering the defined benefits?

Answer options

• A. Review the benefits realization plan with the program sponsor
• B. Document progress in the benefits register and share it with the program sponsor
• C. Evaluate the opportunities and threats affecting benefits
• D. Confirm that the program benefits are aligned with the strategic objectives

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because documenting progress in the benefits register provides tangible evidence of how the program is performing against its planned benefits, which can be shared with the sponsor. Option A, while useful, does not directly show current progress; C focuses on analysis rather than demonstration, and D is about alignment, not proof of delivery.
