Why each option
The Optimize Portfolio process produces a defined set of outputs including roadmap updates, Portfolio Management Plan updates, portfolio updates, and portfolio reports.
According to the PMI Standard for Portfolio Management, the outputs of the Optimize Portfolio process include updates to the Portfolio Roadmap, the Portfolio Management Plan, the Portfolio itself, and Portfolio Reports, which together communicate the results of the optimization decisions. These outputs ensure all relevant documentation reflects the newly balanced component mix and resource allocation.
The Portfolio Strategic Plan update is an input that drives optimization decisions rather than an output produced by the Optimize Portfolio process.
This choice contains an incomplete or altered combination of outputs that does not match the standard set of outputs defined for the Optimize Portfolio process in the PMI standard.
Like choice C, this option presents a combination of outputs that deviates from the defined outputs of the Optimize Portfolio process as specified by PMI.
