Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 361

A program manager of a large infrastructure program that follows a predictive approach has prepared a program status report for senior management and other key stakeholders. The report contains information on the program scope, schedule, cost, quality, risks issues, and benefits.

How should the program manager present this report to the stakeholders?

Answer options

• B. Schedule a meeting with all stakeholders and present the report using slides and charts
• C. Publish the report on the program website and notify the stakeholders via email
• D. Customize reports for each stakeholder group and communicate using the appropriate method

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because customizing reports for each stakeholder group ensures that the information is relevant and tailored to their specific interests and needs. Option A lacks direct engagement, option B may not be practical for large groups, and option C does not guarantee that stakeholders will review the report.
