One of your team members who is particularly interested in becoming a portfolio manager has asked you what is the relation between the Portfolio roadmap and the Programs/Projects roadmaps? What should be your answer to him?

Question

Accepted Answer

A. Program and Project roadmaps may be included in the portfolio roadmap According to the PMI Standard for Portfolio Management, program and project roadmaps represent lower-level detail and may be included within the portfolio roadmap as supporting sub-documents. The portfolio roadmap provides the strategic sequencing of components, and individual component roadmaps can be embedded to show more granular timelines.

Answer

B. There is no relation whatsoever There is a direct hierarchical relationship between portfolio, program, and project roadmaps - they are aligned to the same strategic objectives at different levels of detail.

Answer

C. Program and Project roadmaps are more detailed and less strategically aligned While program and project roadmaps are more detailed, this choice fails to accurately describe the relationship - it does not address whether one is included in or derived from the other.

Answer

D. Portfolio roadmaps are high level approaches for program and project roadmaps The portfolio roadmap does not serve as a high-level approach for developing program/project roadmaps; rather, those roadmaps may be included within it, not derived from it procedurally.
