Why each option
Lessons learned is the program process output that captures variance causes, corrective actions, risk mitigations, and other management-relevant findings.
Supporting details are supplementary documentation attached to other outputs, not a formal capture of variances and corrective actions.
Program management plan updates reflect approved changes to the plan itself, not retrospective analysis of what occurred and why.
Assumptions are constraints identified during planning, not outputs documenting what happened during execution and how it was managed.
Lessons learned documentation is specifically designed to record causes of variances from the program management plan, corrective actions taken and their outcomes, and risk mitigation results. This output serves as organizational process assets for future programs and provides transparency to management and stakeholders.
