Program Strategy Alignment - question from CRC (Darryl)

Assume your executive management team has requested that a standard process be put in place for a business case for new programs and projects to pursue in the organization. You are the leader of a cross-functional team that is designing this process. Your executives have stressed they wish to analyze each proposal from multiple business perspectives and want a balanced view of the business opportunity to be realized as well as the business risk to do so. The first step in this generic process should be to: a.  Determine the key milestones in the program b.  Define the high-level requirements c.  Establish authority, intent, and philosophy d.  Analyze program complexity and strategic alignment

Jitesh, I selected d, yet unsure if this is correct and why b is not a better answer.

Program Communications question CRC

Because your program has the highest priority in the organization's portfolio, your Governance Board meets each month, and each member receives a weekly status report. The executive sponsor requests these reports to enable him to stay current on program activities and assist you with any issues that need resolution. Your customer also requests monthly meetings and a weekly teleconference. To ensure that your list of these meetings and communications is up-to-date, you should develop a(n):
a. Communications log
b. Information distribution plan
c. Communications capability matrix
d. Communications strategy

Jitesh, I selected d. Not sure if this is correct.

What is the correct high level sequence of events (tasks) for the Strategic Domain since the Standard and ECO are not aligned?

Reconcile ECO & Standard v3:
1. Strategic Plan (done by Portfolio Review Board)
2. Initial Assessment (start Business Case & Feasibility Study)
3. Program Mandate (issued by Portfolio Review Board)
4. Meet with key Stakeholders (Starts Stakeholder List)
5.Start Roadmap (starts in Program Definition Phase)
6. Approved Program Plan (includes Vision, Mission, & Metrics for Success)
7. Approved Business Case (includes varies studies)
8. Start High Level Program Charter
9. Start High Level Program Management Plan
