Why each option

The Portfolio Management Plan is the appropriate document for proposing governance structures such as a steering committee.

APortfolio Management PlanCorrect

The Portfolio Management Plan defines how the portfolio will be governed and managed, including the structure and roles of governance bodies such as steering committees. It is the appropriate artifact for documenting proposals about oversight structures that guide portfolio decision-making.

BPortfolio Charter

The Portfolio Charter formally authorizes the portfolio and defines its objectives, not the internal governance committee structure.

COrganizational Process Assets

Organizational Process Assets are historical records, templates, and lessons learned used as inputs - not destinations for new governance proposals.

DPortfolio Strategic Plan

The Portfolio Strategic Plan aligns portfolio components with organizational strategy, not the internal governance or oversight committee structure.
