A program manager is closing a program that delivered a new human resources system. The governance framework requires that the closure plan be approved by the steering committee, and the organization's policy mandates that all financial records be finalized before closure is announced. The program manager has completed the closure plan and is ready to submit it. However, the steering committee's next meeting is in three weeks, and the program's budget is running out. What should the program manager do?

Request an emergency meeting of the steering committee to approve the closure plan before the budget runs out.

Declare the program closed and submit the closure plan after the fact to the steering committee.

Begin releasing program resources immediately to save costs, and submit the closure plan retroactively.

Submit the closure plan to the steering committee for approval at the next meeting, and in the meantime finalize all financial records and prepare administrative closure tasks.

What is the first step in planning for program closure?

Transferring all ongoing activities to the functional organization

Archiving all program documents immediately

Conducting the post-review meeting with stakeholders

Reviewing the program's objectives and scope to determine closure requirements
