In a program management context, which document explains how the program manager will manage the technical activities to be undertaken?

• A. Technical
• B. Financial
• C. Administrative
• D. Operational

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how the plan for handling technical work within the program is documented. The document that explains how the program manager will manage the technical activities is the technical plan (often called the Technical Management Plan). It describes the approach to planning, executing, integrating, and controlling technical work, including the processes, standards, tools, and methods to be used, as well as how interfaces, configuration management, and testing will be handled. It also specifies roles and responsibilities for the technical team, how technical risks will be managed, how technical performance will be measured, and how changes to the technical baselines will be controlled. This ensures technical activities align with the program’s architecture and objectives and are coordinated across multiple projects. Financial planning focuses on budgets and funding, administrative planning covers governance and procedures, and operational planning describes how outputs are used in day-to-day operations.
