Which of the following is a part of the Senior Management Commitment principle in MoP?

Question

Options

• AConnecting project and programme business cases with the organizational strategy
• BCreating an employee engagement strategy with the portfolio
• CChampioning the portfolio and explaining the reasons behind decisions to staff members
• DEnsuring that changes which affect certain departments are not stopped

• A
  5% (1)
• C
  89% (17)
• D
  5% (1)

Explanation

Option C is correct because Senior Management Commitment in MoP specifically requires senior leaders to be visible advocates for the portfolio - actively championing it and transparently communicating the reasoning behind prioritization and investment decisions so staff understand and accept them.

Why the others are wrong:

• A describes the Strategic Fit principle, which is about aligning business cases to organizational strategy - a separate MoP principle.
• B sounds plausible but employee engagement strategies are not a defined component of the Senior Management Commitment principle; they fall more broadly under organizational energy/change management.
• D is essentially the opposite of good portfolio governance - stopping lower-priority or misaligned initiatives is a feature of portfolio management, not something to avoid.

Memory tip: Think of "commitment" as requiring a visible, vocal leader - someone who champions (advocates) and explains (communicates). If the answer involves a senior leader speaking up and justifying decisions to the workforce, that's Senior Management Commitment. The word "championing" in option C is a direct MoP keyword for this principle.
