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.
Developing the portfolio management plan is a subsequent step that requires an updated roadmap as input and cannot meaningfully proceed without it.
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.
Communicating the implementation plan comes after the roadmap has been updated and the management plan has been developed, not immediately after approval.
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.
