Why each option

After gaining management approval for portfolio management implementation, the portfolio manager should update the portfolio roadmap to reflect the approved approach before proceeding further.

Adevelop the portfolio management plan.

Developing the portfolio management plan is a subsequent step that requires an updated roadmap as input and cannot meaningfully proceed without it.

Bupdate the portfolio roadmap.Correct

Updating the portfolio roadmap is the correct next step because the roadmap must be revised to incorporate the newly approved portfolio management processes and implementation timeline before any planning, communication, or training can occur. The roadmap serves as the foundational reference that aligns all subsequent activities. Developing the full management plan, communicating, or training stakeholders are downstream actions that depend on an updated roadmap as their basis.

Ccommunicate the portfolio management implementation plan.

Communicating the implementation plan comes after the roadmap has been updated and the management plan has been developed, not immediately after approval.

Dtrain stakeholders on portfolio management processes and tools.

Training stakeholders on processes and tools is a later-stage activity that occurs after the management plan and roadmap are in place, not immediately following approval.
