Come on, you guys are overthinking this. The answer is clearly D - notify the exec sponsor and update the issue log. That's the fastest way to escalate and get some serious attention on this problem. Plus, the sponsor needs to know ASAP that this program is in trouble.

Ha, I bet the previous program manager was just sleeping on the job. Probably spending more time on the golf course than keeping stakeholders informed. But I digress, I think C is the way to go - review the stakeholder engagement plan and matrix. That'll give you the most insight into who's upset and why.

I agree, B is the way to go. You need to understand the existing communication and stakeholder strategies before you can start fixing the issues. Jumping right into notifying the sponsor without that context could actually make things worse. Gotta do your homework first.

Wow, this question really hits the nail on the head. As a program manager, I know how crucial communication and stakeholder management are. I'd lean towards B - reviewing the communication plan and stakeholder register. That's the fastest way to get up to speed on the situation and address the stakeholders' concerns.
