A program manager needs to predict potential opportunities and justify strategic resource allocation by understanding future economic conditions. Which of the following techniques is most appropriate for this purpose?
Using a risk register to document and track uncertain program elements.
Conducting a root cause analysis (RCA) on a recently failed project component.
Analyzing economic indicators and market trends to project future conditions.
Gathering progress data from component projects to refine near-term tasks.
The correct answer is a technique focused on predicting future economic conditions by analyzing macro-level data and trends. Economic forecasting is essential for strategic program planning. Other options are incorrect because they describe operational monitoring (refining tasks), reactive problem-solving (RCA), or a different planning process (risk register management).
