Why each option

This question identifies which portfolio document contains roles and responsibilities information needed to onboard a new program manager replacing a departed one.

AProgram Business Case

The Program Business Case justifies the existence and investment in a specific program and does not describe portfolio-level roles or managerial responsibilities within the broader portfolio.

BPortfolio Roadmap

The Portfolio Roadmap depicts the timeline and phased sequencing of portfolio components but does not detail the individual managerial roles and responsibilities of those managing those components.

CPortfolio Management PlanCorrect

The Portfolio Management Plan is the comprehensive document that details portfolio governance structures, management processes, and the roles and responsibilities of all portfolio stakeholders including program managers. It gives the newly onboarded program manager a clear understanding of how the portfolio operates and what is expected of him within its governance framework.

DPortfolio Charter

The Portfolio Charter is a high-level authorization document for the portfolio and is not the appropriate source for communicating detailed operational responsibilities to a newly onboarded program manager.
