Explanation

The Benefits Sustainment Plan defines how benefits will be monitored and maintained after the program closes. To create this plan, the program manager must first identify the key performance measures that will be used to verify that realized benefits continue to meet the expectations documented in the Benefits Management Plan. These measures become the baseline for ongoing comparison. Without this foundation, sustainment efforts have no objective criteria for success. Assigning creation of the plan to another organization (B) is a delegation error - the PM facilitates its creation collaboratively. Revising the benefits management plan (C) conflates two distinct documents. Distributing a copy (D) is a communication step, not a creation step.
