Explanation
After confirming feasibility, the next critical step in program initiation is developing the program's vision statement. Feasibility analysis confirms that the program is viable and worth pursuing; the vision statement then articulates the program's purpose, desired future state, and strategic direction-guiding all subsequent planning. Option B (reviewing environmental factors) is typically part of feasibility itself. Option C (initial risk identification) comes during planning, after the vision is set. Option D (mapping financial benefits to functionality) is part of business case development, not the immediate next step after feasibility.
