Why each option
The Develop Portfolio Roadmap process produces the Portfolio Roadmap as its primary output. Updates to the portfolio or charter are outputs of other processes, not this one.
Including a Portfolio update and Portfolio Charter update alongside the roadmap incorrectly attributes outputs from other processes - these are not produced by the Develop Portfolio Roadmap process.
The Portfolio Roadmap is the sole primary output of the Develop Portfolio Roadmap process, providing a single graphical representation of portfolio components, their sequencing, dependencies, and timeline that the portfolio manager uses throughout the portfolio lifecycle to communicate status and direction.
A Portfolio update is not a standard output of the Develop Portfolio Roadmap process; portfolio updates result from monitoring, controlling, or change management processes.
A Portfolio Charter update is not produced by the Develop Portfolio Roadmap process; charter updates occur through portfolio definition or strategic change processes.
