A multinational product-launch program is midway through execution. The steering committee wants assurance that the program is still aligned with strategic objectives, that emerging variances will be detected early, and that stakeholders will always have access to accurate, up-to-date information. Which action should the program manager implement FIRST to address these concerns and satisfy Task 23 responsibilities?
Initiate an immediate contractual compliance audit of every external vendor supporting the program.
Implement a formal, recurring program-status evaluation process that consolidates KPIs and stage-gate reviews.
Escalate all high-priority risks to the governance board and update the risk register.
Perform resource-leveling across all constituent projects to optimize utilization.
Establishing a recurring, structured program-status evaluation process-such as stage-gate reviews, health checks, and consolidated KPI reporting-directly supports monitoring and controlling the program while keeping information current. It enables early detection of variances, timely corrective actions, and transparent communication to all stakeholders. Resource leveling, risk escalation, or vendor audits may be appropriate later, but without a systematic status evaluation framework the steering committee's concerns about alignment, visibility, and control remain unaddressed.
