Your program has seven projects and you've worked with all of the project managers before.

Why each option

The project charter is the document that formally names and authorizes the project manager for a specific project.

AProgram human resource management plan

The program human resource management plan addresses overall staffing strategy and resource needs for the program but does not formally name individual project managers for each project.

BProject charter for each projectCorrect

The project charter formally authorizes the existence of a project and explicitly names the project manager, granting that individual the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. Each project in the program has its own charter that designates its project manager.

CProgram management charter

The program management charter authorizes the program as a whole and designates the program manager, not the individual project managers within the program.

DProject scope statement

The project scope statement defines the deliverables and work of a specific project but does not formally name or authorize the project manager.
