Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 343

An ongoing research program has many external dependencies and is subject to mandatory requirements from regulatory bodies. The program requires filing several documents with government and regulatory bodies for approval. Failure to comply with regulations poses a significant risk to success of the program.

What program activity should the program manager pay close attention to for regulatory compliance?

Answer options

• A. Program quality assurance and controlling
• B. Program communications management
• C. Program information management
• D. Program risk monitoring and controlling

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as monitoring and controlling program risks involves ensuring that all regulatory requirements are met, thus reducing the likelihood of non-compliance. The other options, while important, do not directly address the need for adherence to regulatory standards, making them less critical in this context.
