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?
When a program is at risk of being shut down due to lack of funding, the program manager's priority should be to demonstrate the program's value and strategic alignment to key decision-makers. Revisiting the program business case and reviewing how the program aligns with the organization's strategic goals and its long-term benefits with the program governance board is a comprehensive approach. This can provide a more compelling rationale to secure continued funding by showing detailed alignment with the organization's objectives and highlighting long-term benefits.
D. Review the program business case and the program's strategic alignment and long-term benefits with the program governance board.
