Explanation
Because this program is specifically designed to define new processes for how the company manages future programs, lessons learned must be formally embedded in the program management plan - the authoritative governance document. Recording lessons learned there ensures they are integrated into the program's official record and accessible to future program managers. Option D (review sessions after each stage) describes a useful practice but is a technique, not a formal capture mechanism. Options B and C (training materials and event logs) are informal and not standardized artifacts under PMI's program management framework.
