Question 208

A program will generate revenue for several years after it ends. The program manager and the operations manager, who are accountable for managing the benefits after program closure, are in disagreement. The operations manager is concerned that information necessary for managing the processes and benefits after program closure will be unavailable. The program manager expresses that managing the benefits after program closure is not within the scope and must be managed through the scope management plan.

What should the program sponsor do?

    Correct Answer: C

    The program sponsor should direct the program manager to develop the necessary plans to ensure benefits can be transitioned and sustained after program closure. This approach ensures that the responsibility for preparing for the post-closure management of benefits is clearly assigned to the program manager. It involves developing plans that facilitate the transition and ongoing management of benefits, ensuring that the operations team has the necessary information and processes in place when the program ends. This addresses the concern raised by the operations manager and aligns with best practices for program management, where the responsibility for setting up sustainable benefits realization extends beyond the program's closure.
