Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 335

A program sponsor and a program manager are working together to determine which components to include in a program to deliver the maximum benefits and value to an organization. The interdependencies among the components need to be fully understood.

What action should the program sponsor and program manager take regarding component selection?

Answer options

• A. Align the components' efforts to the organizational strategy and the components' business cases
• B. Monitor benefits realization to ensure they remain strategically aligned to the organization's goals
• C. Optimize the components' path to achieving the benefits and providing value to the organization
• D. Define the outputs and outcomes of the components that will contribute to the delivery of benefits

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, focuses on optimizing the components' approach to maximize benefits and value, which is essential for effective program management. Options A and B, while important, do not directly address the selection of components, and D is more about defining expected results rather than optimizing the path to achieve them.
