Why each option
Pre-program analysis to determine whether a program should be initiated is known as a feasibility study, which evaluates viability before formal program launch.
The program charter is created after the decision to initiate has been made, not as part of the pre-initiation analysis.
A feasibility study is conducted before a program is formally initiated to assess whether the program is viable, worthwhile, and aligned with organizational goals. It involves analysis and research into technical, financial, and strategic factors to support the decision of whether to proceed with the program.
The business case documents justification for the program but is distinct from the feasibility study, which specifically evaluates whether the program is viable.
The program scope statement defines the work boundaries of an approved program and is developed well after initiation is confirmed.
