Which actions can ensure resource optimization in a portfolio? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• ARegular capacity planning
• BImplementing automated workflows
• CPrioritizing high-value projects
• DIncreasing task durations

• B
  13% (3)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

Regular capacity planning (A) ensures resources are allocated efficiently by anticipating demand and avoiding bottlenecks or over-commitment. Prioritizing high-value projects (C) directs limited resources toward work that delivers the greatest return, preventing waste on low-impact initiatives - the core goal of portfolio optimization.

B is wrong because automated workflows improve efficiency and reduce manual effort, but they don't directly optimize resource allocation across a portfolio - that requires deliberate prioritization and planning decisions. D is wrong because increasing task durations does the opposite of optimization; it consumes more resources over longer periods and reduces throughput.

Memory tip: Think "Plan and Pick" - plan your capacity (A), then pick your best projects (C). Both are active management decisions, whereas B is a process tool and D is outright counterproductive.
