A is correct This approach ensures that the program manager is transparent about potential risks and impacts on program goals. By presenting the concerns to the program governance board, the program manager can seek their guidance and support in making informed decisions. This allows for a structured evaluation of the proposed acceleration and its implications, ensuring that any actions taken are aligned with the overall program objectives and have the necessary buy-in from key stakeholders.

In this situation, where the program sponsor requests accelerating the implementation of a new manufacturing process but the program manager is concerned about the potential impact on program goals, the most appropriate action would be: A. **Document the concerns that program goals may be affected and present at the next program governance board review meeting for guidance and actions to be taken.** This option involves formally documenting the concerns and seeking guidance from the program governance board. It ensures that any decision made is well-informed and considers the potential impacts on program goals. It also involves key decision-makers in the process, which is essential for significant changes like accelerating a program component.
