Option A is a no-brainer. Change management is crucial for a successful program implementation. Although, I do wonder if the program manager is also considering a pizza party to sweeten the deal.

I'd be wary of option D. The program sponsor shouldn't be the sole interface with stakeholders. That could come across as heavy-handed and undermine trust.

The program manager should definitely go with option C. Gathering input from different stakeholder groups will help identify their concerns and ensure the program addresses their needs.
