Your company acquired another company. The sponsor asked you to check the other company's current inventory of work and see what could be added to your current portfolio. You have a meeting coming…

The Portfolio Roadmap is a chronological representation of portfolio components that explicitly shows dependencies, milestones, and the timeline of work, making it the ideal document for demonstrating how acquired work interrelates with existing portfolio components. When a sponsor needs to understand portfolio dependencies, the roadmap provides the visual, dependency-driven view required.

The Portfolio Charter formally authorizes the portfolio and defines its high-level scope but does not provide a visual representation of component dependencies or sequencing.

The Portfolio Management Plan describes policies, procedures, and processes for managing the portfolio but does not show component-level dependencies and timelines visually.

Portfolio Strategic Plans define vision and strategic objectives for each portfolio but do not depict inter-component dependencies in a way useful for a sponsor overview meeting.
