Question
You are managing a large portfolio and know that you will need to constantly show the progress and status of the portfolio in meeting. For this you have developed a robust roadmap using BI tools. The portfolio roadmap is used abundantly as an input to 7 processes. When it comes to managing portfolio value, how is the portfolio roadmap used?
Options
- ADelays in delivery of portfolio component results may adversely affect the value derived from the
- BIt is not used in managing the portfolio value
- CDependencies shown at the roadmap level have negative impacts on the value realized
- DDependencies shown at the roadmap level have positive impacts on the value realized

Why each option
When used in managing portfolio value, the Portfolio Roadmap illustrates how delays in component delivery can cascade and adversely affect value realization across dependent components.
The Portfolio Roadmap shows the timing and dependencies of portfolio components, and in the context of managing portfolio value, it demonstrates that delays in one component's delivery can reduce or eliminate the value that depends on its completion. This connection between schedule and value is a key reason the roadmap serves as an input to the Manage Portfolio Value process.
The Portfolio Roadmap is explicitly cited as an input to the Manage Portfolio Value process in the PMI Standard, so stating it is not used is factually incorrect.
Stating that roadmap dependencies have only negative impacts on value is an overgeneralization; the roadmap surfaces dependency risk, which can include both negative delays and positive enablement.
Stating that roadmap dependencies have only positive impacts on value is equally inaccurate; the primary concern in managing portfolio value through the roadmap is understanding risks such as delivery delays.
