A program manager is working on benefits. The program team created and updated a benefits register earlier in the program. The benefits register should include which of the following?

Question

Options

• AList of planned benefits, earned value (EV), and responsible person
• BList of planned benefits, measurement method, and component mapping
• CList of planned benefits, benefit creator, and realization date
• DList of planned benefits, stakeholders, and risk level

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  8% (2)
• D
  84% (21)

Explanation

According to the PMI Standard for Program Management, the benefits register captures planned benefits along with the stakeholders who own or receive them and the risks associated with their realization. Earned value (A) is a schedule/cost metric, not a benefits register attribute. Measurement method and component mapping (B) and benefit creator with realization date (C) are partial attributes but omit the critical governance elements. Option D is correct because identifying stakeholders (accountability and ownership) and risk level (threats to realization) are essential for proactively managing and governing each planned benefit throughout the program.
