Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Formally reassess the business case and present findings to the Steering Committee.
Why this is correct
The program manager must provide the data to inform a decision on whether to continue.
- ✗
Modify the business case internally to reflect the new market.
Why it's wrong here
The business case is an approved document and requires formal review.
- ✗
Ask the project managers to cut costs to maintain the original business case.
Why it's wrong here
If the case is no longer viable, cost-cutting may not save the program's value.
- ✗
Continue the program until the end of the year, then reassess.
Why it's wrong here
This risks wasting resources on a non-viable program.
