Why each option

This question tests understanding of the primary purpose behind developing a portfolio charter in portfolio management.

AExecute portfolio management processesCorrect

The portfolio charter formally authorizes the portfolio manager and grants the authority to apply organizational resources to execute portfolio management processes. It is the foundational document that establishes the portfolio's legitimacy and the manager's mandate to initiate, plan, and oversee all portfolio management activities in alignment with organizational strategy.

BAuthorize portfolio components

Authorizing individual portfolio components is accomplished through the governance review and component authorization process, not through the portfolio charter itself.

CStart the development of Portfolio Management plan and all of its subsidiary plan

Development of the Portfolio Management Plan is a subsequent activity that occurs after the charter is approved - the charter's purpose is authorization, not plan initiation.

DDevelop portfolio structure

Developing portfolio structure is part of portfolio strategic planning activities, not the primary purpose of the portfolio charter.
