Which step is responsible for coordinating the program?

• A. Step 8
• B. Step 7
• C. Step 9
• D. Step 1

Answer: (A)

Coordinating a program means pulling together all moving parts—managing dependencies, aligning schedules, and sharing status with stakeholders. The coordination step is designed to do exactly that: it oversees integration, facilitates cross‑team communication, tracks overall progress, and resolves cross‑cutting issues so the whole program advances as a cohesive whole. Other steps focus on initiating, delivering individual components, or closing out, which don’t center on cross‑component orchestration. That’s why the coordination step is the one responsible for coordinating the program.
