Explanation
When leadership wants to know when incremental benefits can be realized, the program manager must first develop the Benefits Sustainment Plan (A), which maps out how and when individual benefits will be delivered, measured, and maintained throughout the program's life. This plan establishes the foundational framework for tracking benefit delivery over time. The Program Management Plan (B) and component schedules (D) are broader or more detailed planning artifacts that come after the benefits framework is defined. The Program Roadmap (C) provides a high-level timeline but is informed by the benefits plan rather than preceding it in this context.
