Explanation

The portfolio roadmap is a high-level strategic document used to communicate portfolio direction and is specifically designed to capture both internal and external dependencies to other organizational areas, making Option B correct. Option A is false – roadmaps are living documents that are updated regularly as the portfolio evolves, while the charter is relatively more stable. Option C is false – the roadmap is not defined only after all component planning is finished; it is developed iteratively throughout the portfolio lifecycle. Option D is partially misleading – while the roadmap shows components graphically, it does not necessarily incorporate ALL components at all times; it reflects active, planned, and pipeline components relevant to the strategic horizon.
