Ans A: Many here seems to have chosen B. I am not sure how B is the right choice. The sponsor already asked the program manager to accelerate to retire the 2 legacy systems. What is the point in again doing some analysis and finding impacts. It is obvious that the 2 legacy systems need to be replaced ASAP. So the focus will be on all the components relevant for that process. Hence my answer is A.

Selected Answer: B
B. Analyze the impact of accelerating the program, and present the pros and cons to the program sponsor. This action ensures that the program manager performs due diligence by assessing the implications of accelerating the program's timeline. It's critical to understand the potential risks, additional costs, and whether the accelerated timeline would indeed lead to increased benefits realization. Presenting a well-considered analysis to the program sponsor will aid in making an informed decision and planning the next steps accordingly.
