What design constraint should a new program align with to ensure feasibility?

• A. Consistent With the Facility's Mission
• B. Overriding the Facility's Mission If Needed
• C. Ignoring Facility Policies
• D. Focusing Only on Marketing

Answer: (A)

Feasibility comes from ensuring the new program fits what the facility is trying to achieve. When a program aligns with the facility’s mission, it naturally leverages existing resources, supports stakeholders, and follows established policies and priorities, making it practical to approve, fund, and sustain over time. Pushing to override the mission creates misalignment with strategic goals and can erode support and governance. Ignoring facility policies undermines compliance and risk management, while focusing only on marketing can overlook operational constraints and resource limits. So, keeping the program consistent with the facility’s mission is the best constraint for feasibility.
