   A technology company has a permanent Project Support Office (PSO) that provides administrative support to all projects. The company is launching a 2-year cloud migration program. The program needs dedicated support for dependency management and benefits tracking. The PSO has capacity but its staff are generalists.

The program's benefits tracking is not needed until month 6. What is the most appropriate P3O decision?

   • ATrain the PSO staff over 3 months and have them provide the program's support, since benefits tracking is not needed until month 6.
   • BCreate a temporary Programme Office with hired specialists, and train the PSO staff in parallel.
   • CAsk the PSO to provide the support without any training, relying on their generalist skills.
   • DHire specialists immediately for the program, ignoring the 3-month training option.
