Explanation
The question asks for the initial step to evaluate available resources aligned with the program's needs. Before assessing skills (A), creating a plan (D), or even finalizing requirements (C), the program manager must first know what resources are actually available. In most organizational structures, functional managers control and allocate staff, so obtaining resource availability information from them is the necessary first step. Without knowing what is available, any skills assessment or planning effort lacks a foundation.
