Explanation

An IT roadmap is a strategic plan that maps out the planned trajectory of IT investments, initiatives, and capabilities over time, directly supporting IT portfolio management strategy by showing what will be built, retired, or prioritized. IT metrics dashboards (A) provide operational monitoring, not strategic portfolio direction. A capability maturity model (C) assesses process maturity levels and identifies improvement areas but does not define portfolio strategy. Life cycle cost-benefit analysis (D) is useful for evaluating individual investments but does not provide the overarching strategic direction needed to manage the entire IT portfolio.
