Start Strategic Program Alignment PracticeA program manager is initiating a new program that aims to improve market share. Which document should the program manager prioritize to ensure the program remains aligned with the organization's strategic objectives?
Explanation: The program business case provides the justification and strategic alignment necessary for the program's existence.
Which document establishes the high-level justification for the program and serves as the foundation for the business case?
Explanation: The Program Mandate defines the initial justification and strategic intent for the program.
Which TWO roles are primarily responsible for ensuring the program roadmap is successfully executed?
Explanation: Option A, Project Manager, is correct because the project manager is accountable for delivering individual projects on time, within scope, and within budget, which directly contributes to executing the program roadmap's planned initiatives. Option D, Program Manager, is correct because the program manager owns the overall program roadmap, coordinates interdependent projects, manages benefits realization, and ensures the roadmap's strategic objectives are achieved. Option B, Database Administrator, is incorrect because a DBA focuses on database availability, performance, backup/recovery, and security, not on roadmap execution. Option C, Facilities Manager, is incorrect because facilities management handles physical infrastructure and workplace services, which are unrelated to program roadmap delivery. Option E, External Auditor, is incorrect because an external auditor provides independent assurance and compliance assessment, not responsibility for executing the roadmap.
A program manager is leading a program that is midway through execution. The organization has just completed a strategic planning cycle and has introduced new strategic objectives related to sustainability and digital transformation. The program manager needs to assess the program's continued strategic alignment. Which TWO actions should the program manager take to ensure the program remains aligned with the new strategic objectives? (Choose two.)
Explanation: To reassess strategic alignment, the program manager should first analyze how the program's benefits map to the new strategic objectives and then validate the program's objectives with key stakeholders. These actions directly address whether the program still supports the organization's strategy. Other actions, such as updating risks or changing schedules, are important but secondary to the alignment assessment and may be premature until alignment is confirmed.
A program manager discovers that one of the constituent projects is no longer supporting the program's strategic objectives. What is the most appropriate action?
Explanation: When a constituent project no longer aligns with the program's strategic objectives, the program manager must escalate to the Program Steering Committee, which has the authority to make governance decisions about project continuation, scope changes, or termination. The program manager cannot unilaterally alter project scope or terminate a project, as these decisions affect strategic direction and require executive oversight. Escalation ensures the decision is made at the appropriate governance level with full visibility into program strategy.
