According to the PMBOK® Guide, the project manager should ensure that the project benefits are aligned with the business objectives and the needs of the intended users1. One of the best ways to achieve this is to conduct a review with a representative group of users who can provide feedback on the program’s functionality, usability, and value2. This can help the project manager validate the program’s benefits, identify any gaps or issues, and implement any changes or improvements before releasing the program to the public3.
Option A is not the best answer because testing the program only ensures its quality, but not its benefits. Testing the program may reveal technical errors or defects, but it may not capture the user’s perspective or satisfaction4. Option C is not the best answer because meeting with government officials may ensure the program’s compliance, but not its benefits. Meeting with government officials may help the project manager understand the policy requirements and regulations, but it may not reflect the user’s expectations or preferences5. Option D is not the best answer because documenting the features and updating the specifications only ensures the program’s scope, but not its benefits. Documenting the features and updating the specifications may help the project manager control the program’s deliverables, but it may not measure the program’s outcomes or value6.
