Which of the following is not true about a program?
  1. As with projects, programs are ways of reaching an organization’s goals and objectives. Programs, however, do this within the context of the organization’s strategic plan.
  2. Programs offer organizational benefits, including improving upon and adding to current systems.
  3. A program never needs to be managed.
  4. Programs may include work related to the program, but out of the scope of any individual projects included in the program.
Explanation
Answer - C - A program never needs to be managed. This is false. Programs, like projects, need specific program management.

Key Takeaway: Program management is not about managing the details of individual projects, but about managing the big picture. Therefore, programs often benefit the organization more directly, they are often more in line with the organization’s strategic plan, and may include needs outside of individual projects. The underlying motivational factors for grouping projects into a larger umbrella program includes shared resources, strategic benefits, and coordinated management.
