Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 350

You are the program manager for your company and management wants you to identify how you'll make decisions in the program planning processes. What program management document should serve as the baseline for all future program decisions?

Answer options

• A. Program budget
• B. Program management plan
• C. Program scope statement
• D. Program requirements

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, the Program Scope Statement, as it defines the boundaries and deliverables of the program, serving as the foundation for all decisions moving forward. The Program Budget and Program Management Plan are important but do not specifically outline the scope, while Program Requirements detail the needs but do not establish decision-making criteria.
