I'm just hoping there's no 'cancel all projects' option hidden somewhere. That would be the ultimate plot twist!

I'm feeling option A here. Maintaining all the projects and components within the program might be the safest bet, even if it's not the most efficient. You know what they say, 'better safe than sorry'.

Option B sounds like a recipe for disaster. Letting the stakeholders decide which projects to close or accelerate? That's like asking a bunch of kids to decide what's for dinner - chaos!

Wow, this is a tricky situation. I'm not sure if I would have the courage to make that kind of decision on my own. I think option C is the safest route - let the sponsor(s) decide the fate of the projects.

I think discussing with stakeholders could also provide valuable insights. It's important to get different perspectives before making a decision.

I agree, it's a tough call to make. But sometimes the sponsor(s) have a better understanding of the overall goals.

But what if some projects are not aligned with the goals? Shouldn't they be closed or reassigned?
