A program manager is preparing the program charter to secure formal approval from the program steering committee. According to PMI standards, which set of components is essential for this initial authorization document?
A complete list of all constituent projects, their approved project charters, and signed vendor contracts
A detailed program Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), responsibility assignment matrix (RAM), and the communications management plan
High-level program scope, key milestones, and a summary of expected benefits
The comprehensive benefits realization plan, benefits sustainment plan, and performance measurement baselines
According to PMI standards, the program charter is a high-level document that formally authorizes the program and the program manager. It is derived from the business case and includes the program's purpose, high-level scope, key milestones, and expected benefits to gain approval from governance. Detailed planning artifacts such as a comprehensive Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), responsibility assignment matrix (RAM), communications plan, and detailed benefits realization plans are developed after the charter is approved. Likewise, constituent project charters and vendor contracts are established during program delivery, after the overarching program has been authorized.
