Explanation

A portfolio roadmap is a high-level strategic document showing the sequencing and timing of portfolio components over time. Interdependency analysis is the most appropriate input because it identifies how components relate to, depend on, and constrain each other - which is essential for determining the correct order, timing, and scheduling of initiatives on the roadmap. Without understanding dependencies, the roadmap could sequence components in ways that create bottlenecks or conflicts. Capability and capacity analysis (A) supports resource planning but is not the primary driver of roadmap sequencing. Schedule analysis (B) is an output of the roadmap, not a creator of it. Graphical analytical techniques (C) are visualization methods, not an analytical basis for building the roadmap.
