Portfolio Management Professional (PfMP) — Question 50

Once a new portfolio component has been initiated, the portfolio manager should first:

Answer options

• A. record the new status of the component in the change management register to inform all interested stakeholders.
• B. set up the next gate review for the component to monitor deliverables, costs, and the schedule.
• C. update the portfolio roadmap with the start and projected end dates of the component and expected benefits.
• D. perform portfolio updates to reflect the status of the component and assigned resources and funding.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because updating the portfolio roadmap with the start and projected end dates is essential for tracking the component's timeline and benefits. Options A, B, and D, while important, are secondary actions that follow the initial roadmap update, which provides a clear overview of the component's integration into the portfolio.
