Correct answer: C
Explanation
When newly appointed to lead a critical hybrid software project, the project manager should first review the project charter to understand the objectives, high-level scope, and business need. The charter provides foundational context for all subsequent activities and decisions. Assessing the project management plan (A) is detailed and time-consuming without charter context. Sharing objectives with the team (B) should follow charter review. Holding a kickoff meeting (D) is most effective after the PM understands the charter.
