Explanation

The communication matrix maps who receives what information, when, and through which channel. Its two foundational inputs are stakeholder needs (what specific information each stakeholder requires to do their job or make decisions) and communication objectives (what each communication is intended to achieve). These inputs drive every other design decision in the matrix. Stakeholder expectations and the portfolio charter (A) are broader inputs to planning, not specifically the matrix. Portfolio manager roles and the risk register (B) are unrelated to communication matrix design. Communication vehicles and organizational process assets (D) are tools used after the matrix is defined, not inputs used to build it.
