Exam PgMP topic 1 question 443 discussion

In this scenario, the appropriate next step for the program manager, after an influential stakeholder suggests integrating a new technology into the program, is: A. **Assess the new technology and discuss the results with the program steering committee to determine next steps.** This approach is prudent as it involves a thorough assessment of the new technology to understand its potential impacts, benefits, and risks. Discussing these findings with the program steering committee ensures that the decision to integrate (or not) the technology is made based on informed consensus, aligning with the overall program objectives and considering the views of key stakeholders.

After attending a technology exposition, an influential stakeholder believes that integrating a new technology into the program will increase benefits and help shorten the schedule. The stakeholder asks the program manager to immediately include the new technology into the program. What should the program manager do next? A. Assess the new technology and discuss the results with the program steering committee to determine next steps. B. Start the change management process and submit a change request to integrate the new technology. C.
