To communicate the program's intended direction and the linkage between organizational strategies and planned work, especially after the program charter has been approved, the program manager should use: A. Program roadmap The program roadmap is an effective tool for illustrating the program's direction and how it aligns with organizational strategies. It visually represents the key milestones, deliverables, and components of the program over time, providing a clear overview of how the program contributes to the organizational objectives.

A is the right answer

The program roadmap is a chronological representation of a program’s intended direction. It is designed to graphically depict the dependencies between major milestones and decision points, thus clearly illustrating the linkage between the business strategy and the program work. This tool provides stakeholders with a visual guide to the program's progression in terms of its strategic alignment and expected outcomes, making it an effective communication instrument for conveying the program's direction and its connection to the organization's strategic goals and objectives.

A is the right answer.

I think A

The SPM4 states that "The program roadmap is a chronological representation of the program's intended direction, graphically depicting dependencies between major milestones and decision points, which reflects the linkage between the business strategy and the program work". Is there a difference between Business Strategy and Organization Strategy?

A is correct. According to Standard of project management by PMI the program roadmap is a representation of program’s intended direction, reflects the lineage between the business strategy and the program work (page 36, 3.3).
