PgMP Practice Question

The correct action is to incorporate an analysis of the new regulations into the program scope statement. According to program management standards, the detailed program scope statement must incorporate significant external influences and variables to ensure the program aligns with its vision and to facilitate comprehensive planning. Halting the program is an extreme and premature reaction. Delegating compliance solely to project teams creates a risk of inconsistent application, which undermines a key benefit of program management. While adding the new regulations to the risk register is a valid action, it is insufficient; as a known requirement, it must be proactively addressed within the scope definition, not just passively monitored as a risk.
