A program manager is preparing for an initial gate review with the executive sponsor. The program charter is drafted, but to secure formal approval and funding, the sponsor requires a clear overview of the program's trajectory and value. What is the primary strategic purpose of presenting a high-level roadmap and preliminary estimates at this meeting?
To outline the specific, day-to-day tasks for all component project teams to ensure immediate operational alignment.
To establish a firm, detailed budget and schedule baseline that must be adhered to throughout the program's lifecycle.
To demonstrate how the program's major milestones connect to strategic objectives and provide a basis for assessing overall feasibility.
To secure commitment from all operational stakeholders before the final business case has been fully analyzed and approved.
The primary purpose of presenting a high-level roadmap and preliminary estimates early on is to link the program's execution to the organization's strategic goals. This demonstrates how major milestones will deliver value and provides a basis for the sponsor to assess the program's feasibility and alignment with corporate direction. The other options are incorrect because they describe activities that are either too detailed for an initial review (firm budgets, specific tasks) or are mistimed (securing stakeholder commitment before the business case is finalized).
