A municipal agency manages a city's water and wastewater infrastructure. Its six-year capital improvement program (CIP) is approximately US$4 billion, and is used for such things as improving aging infrastructure, addressing regulatory requirements, and upgrading facilities. The mayor and key stakeholders are concerned because of yearly rate increases for residents. After receiving proposals from program managers for this key program, which is half of the current CIP, a program management team is hired and receives an approved business case.
What should the project manager do next?

Wait, are they really going to spend that much without a clear charter?

The CIP is huge, $4 billion is no joke!

I keep thinking about discussing the program change and its challenges, but I’m not sure if that’s the immediate next step. It feels like we should have a plan in place first.

Conducting a program performance analysis seems important, but I wonder if that comes later in the process. I feel like we need a solid plan first.

I think the project manager should probably create a program management plan first, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right step after getting the business case approved.

I remember a practice question where we had to develop a program charter right after approval, but I feel like there might be more steps involved before that.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Assessing risk, tracing requirements, securing material - they all seem relevant to a BA's work. I'll have to make an educated guess.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'm not entirely familiar with the details of Business Capacity Management for a NAS solution. I'll need to think it through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about the Department of Labor's recommendations for an effective internal audit and reporting system. I'll need to carefully review each option to determine which one is not recommended.

I think we practiced a question where Linear Learner was recommended for regression tasks. Would it fit here?
