Why each option
A governance decision to increase the portfolio budget and add resources to address new risks requires a formal update to the Portfolio Management Plan to reflect the revised management approach.
The Portfolio Management Plan is the authoritative document governing how the portfolio is managed, including resource allocation policies and risk response strategies. Any approved change to funding levels or resource assignments resulting from a governance decision must be formally recorded in the Portfolio Management Plan to keep it current, authoritative, and aligned with the steering committee's direction.
Portfolio Reports are communication outputs that reflect current portfolio status; they document what has happened but are not updated to authorize or record changes to the management approach.
Portfolio updates refer to changes in portfolio component composition or categorization, not to changes in the management plan that governs how the portfolio operates.
Portfolio Process Assets capture historical information, templates, and lessons learned; they are not the primary document updated in response to a new governance decision about budget and resources.
