Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 331

A program manager for a construction program composed of five components is working on the first monthly status report based on preestablished key performance indicators (KPIs). The program sponsor asks the program manager about the contents of the report, which will be sent to program stakeholders.

How should the program manager respond?

Answer options

• A. The program report includes the program schedule and the schedules of all five components
• B. The program report includes a summary of the program's progress at the program level
• C. The program report includes a progress summary of the program and all its components.
• D. The program report includes a progress summary of the five components and the program risks

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the report focuses on the overall program's progress rather than just the individual components or risks. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they suggest including more detailed information that is not necessary for the high-level summary requested by the program sponsor.
