Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 4

What would prevent a program manager from completing program closure once a program has been completed?

Answer options

• A. Failure to update the financial management plan
• B. Failure to update the benefits register
• C. Incomplete realization of all program benefits
• D. Failure to obtain program steering committee approval

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights the importance of maintaining an updated benefits register, which is essential for program closure. Without this update, it may be unclear whether all benefits have been realized, hindering completion. Options A, C, and D, while important, do not directly prevent program closure as effectively as the failure to update the benefits register.
