Explanation

Initial selection committee approval means the program has passed the first gate but is still in the early formulation/definition phase. The immediate next step is to continue developing the high-level program roadmap, which defines the strategic intent, phasing, and sequencing of the program. Option A (defining architecture and assigning benefits) is premature without a complete roadmap. Option B (completing program setup) comes after the roadmap provides the foundation. Option C (analyzing lessons learned) is an input activity that should inform the roadmap development, but it is not the next discrete action the program manager should take.
