Program Management Professional (PgMP) — Question 66

A program is completed and the expected benefits are realized.
Before executing the transition and closing of the program, what should the program manager do?

Answer options

• A. Create a final program report
• B. Archive documents and lessons learned
• C. Obtain approval from the program governance board to initiate program closure activities
• D. Perform administrative and program management information system (PMIS) closure activities

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because obtaining approval from the program governance board is a crucial step to ensure that all stakeholders are aligned before closing the program. Options A and B, while important, do not address the need for governance approval, and option D focuses on administrative tasks rather than the necessary oversight from the governance board.
