What is the first step in managing dependencies within a programme?

Assigning dependencies to the Programme Office

Resolving all dependencies immediately

Documenting dependencies in the benefits realization plan

Identifying the dependencies that exist between projects and activities

A programme is delivering a new tax processing system. The delivery plan shows tranche 1 delivering the core processing engine, tranche 2 adding the online filing interface, and tranche 3 adding analytics. During tranche 1, a regulatory change requires the online filing interface to be delivered earlier than planned. The programme manager must adjust the delivery plan. What is the most appropriate action?

Adjust the tranche boundaries so that the online filing interface is delivered in tranche 1, and reassess the dependencies and landing points.

Cancel tranche 3 and use its resources to accelerate the online filing interface, without changing the tranche boundaries.

Move the online filing interface to tranche 1 and defer the core processing engine to tranche 2, to meet the regulatory deadline.

Keep the delivery plan unchanged and escalate the regulatory change to the programme board for a decision on whether to accept the risk of non-compliance.

Which document in the structure theme describes the overall approach to delivering the programme's outcomes, including the methods and techniques to be used?
