A program manager is overseeing the closure of a five-year strategic transformation program. Several project managers, anxious to transition to new roles, have simply uploaded their final project files to various folders on a shared drive with no structure. To ensure long-term value and compliance, what is the program manager's most critical next step?
Consolidate all the unstructured files into a single master folder marked "Final Program Archives" to ensure the program can be closed by the deadline.
Ask each project manager to individually organize their files according to their best judgment before the final program review meeting.
Report the non-compliant project managers to their functional leads for failing to follow mandated closeout procedures.
Instruct the PMO to immediately implement the pre-defined archiving protocol, including metadata tagging and a structured repository, and then audit all component project archives for compliance.
The correct action is to enforce the established governance framework for archiving. By directing the PMO to implement the pre-defined protocol, the program manager ensures consistency, compliance, and the long-term usability of program artifacts for audits and organizational knowledge. Delegating without a standard, escalating prematurely, or creating a disorganized consolidated file all fail to meet the strategic objectives of proper program closure.
