Question
You are the program manager for your organization. Your current program is to create a new recreational facility in your city. Franklin, the Chief Executive Officer, is concerned about meeting all of the financial and schedule requirements of the proposed program. Martina, the mayor of your town, wants to make certain the program meets all safety requirements and building codes. Your supervisor, Mary Ann, is the Program Director, and she is concerned about the start date of your program. Another stakeholder, Hal, is worried that your resources may be spread thin on the program as some of the resources are on multiple projects in your program. To whom will you report to in this program?

Explanation
The program manager reports directly to their supervisor in the organizational hierarchy. Mary Ann is the Program Director and the program manager's direct supervisor - making her the correct reporting authority. Franklin (A) is the CEO and a major stakeholder concerned with finances and schedules, but the program manager does not report directly to him. Martina (B) is the mayor, a stakeholder with safety and compliance interests, but not a managerial authority over the program manager. Hal (C) is a stakeholder concerned with resource allocation, not a supervisory role. Regardless of stakeholder influence or level of concern, the formal reporting relationship is determined by the organizational hierarchy - which points to Mary Ann, the Program Director.
