Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 349

A program sponsor requires the governance board to meet each month and that each member receive a weekly status report. The program's customer holds a contract requiring the program manager to host a weekly status briefing.

How should the program manager ensure all stakeholders receive the information they require to ensure successful program execution?

Answer options

• A. Create a comprehensive stakeholder register
• B. Reference the information distribution plan
• C. Develop a capabilities compliance matrix
• D. Update the strategic communications plan

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the information distribution plan outlines how and when information will be shared with stakeholders, ensuring that all parties receive the required updates. Option A, while useful for identifying stakeholders, does not address the specific information flow needed. Option C is irrelevant as it pertains to compliance rather than communication. Option D, although it may aid in communication strategy, does not directly ensure that all stakeholders receive the necessary information as specified.
