Why each option

The program charter is a high-level authorization document created at program initiation and is not updated when scope or requirements change; scope statements, WBS, and activity lists are updated instead.

AProgram work breakdown structure

The Program Work Breakdown Structure decomposes program scope and must be updated to reflect any approved changes in requirements or deliverables.

BProgram activity list

The program activity list is derived from the WBS and must be revised when new or changed requirements alter the work to be performed.

CProgram charterCorrect

The program charter formally authorizes the program and documents high-level objectives and initial assumptions at inception - it is not a living document revised with ongoing scope changes. Requirement and scope changes are reflected in the program scope statement, WBS, and activity list, while the charter remains as the original authorization record.

DProgram scope

The program scope statement defines the detailed boundaries of the program and must be updated to reflect all approved requirement changes.

Concept tested: Program charter as static authorization vs updatable scope documents
