Exam PgMP topic 1 question 326 discussion

D is the right answer.

D. Identify program benefits that will enable the fulfillment of strategic goals. The program manager can use the company's vision as outlined by the CEO to identify and define the benefits that the program should deliver to align with and fulfill the organization's strategic goals. This involves understanding the vision and mission of the company and then translating these into specific, measurable program benefits. These identified benefits should directly contribute to achieving the strategic objectives set out in the company's vision. By focusing on the benefits that align with the company's strategic direction, the program manager ensures that the program is not just a collection of projects but a strategic initiative that advances the organization's overarching goals.

An organization initiates an innovation program to deliver exceptional performance and benefits. After the program transition plan is in place and the implementation of a benefits sustainment plan starts, the program manager discovers the program may be shut down due to lack of funding. To ensure continued funding for the program, what should the program manager do next? A. Complete the benefits sustainment plan and update the benefits register B. Present a revised ROI to the program sponsors based on the remaining investment C. Conduct a cost-benefit analysis to ensure the program sponsors understand the program's long-term benefits D. Review the program business case and the program's strategic alignment and long-term benefits with the program governance board
