Program Benefits Management

Question

A program will generate revenue for several years after it ends. The program manager and the operations manager, who are accountable for managing the benefits after program closure, are in disagreement.

Explanation

The operations manager will own and be accountable for managing the benefits after program closure. The sponsor's role is to resolve the conflict by directing the operations manager - who will inherit the benefits - to allocate the resources needed to establish proper post-closure plans. Option A is too narrow (just one resource). Option C incorrectly places post-closure benefit management solely on the program manager, who will no longer own it. Option D defers the decision rather than resolving the conflict. The sponsor must ensure the right party (operations) is properly resourced for continuity.
