Why each option
Interdependency analysis is the technique used when a portfolio manager documents financial dependencies and shared resources between portfolio components. It maps how components relate to each other internally and externally.
Elicitation techniques are used to gather information and requirements from stakeholders, not to analyze and document financial dependencies and resource linkages between components.
Interdependency analysis is specifically the technique for identifying and documenting internal and external financial dependencies and shared resources between portfolio components, which is precisely the activity described - this technique supports portfolio strategic management by revealing how components affect one another.
Capability and capacity analysis assesses the organization's ability to execute work based on available resources and skills, not the financial and resource dependencies between components.
Readiness assessment evaluates organizational preparedness to initiate or sustain portfolio components, not the dependency and resource-sharing relationships between them.
