A new project manager has been assigned to a project in an approved portfolio. What should the portfolio manager do to ensure that the new project manager will be able to support the portfolio…

While the new project manager may need orientation to portfolio processes, providing training is not the portfolio manager's primary action - updating the governance documentation that defines the manager's responsibilities takes precedence.

Training on project management processes is the responsibility of the project manager's direct supervisor or PMO, not the portfolio manager, and does not address portfolio management requirements.

Revising documentation and updating current portfolio reports addresses operational outputs and does not fulfill the governance responsibility of updating the plan to reflect the new role assignment.

The portfolio management plan documents governance structures, roles, responsibilities, and resource assignments for the portfolio; updating it to reflect the new project manager ensures accurate accountability, reporting lines, and formal integration of the new manager into portfolio processes, which is the portfolio manager's governance responsibility.
