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. When it comes to Portfolio dependencies, which of the following is true regarding the roadmap?
Options
- AThe roadmap forms the initial basis on which dependencies are established both within the
- BThe Portfolio roadmap includes programs and projects roadmaps, so it establishes the internal
- CThe roadmap is internal to the portfolio, so it only establishes the internal dependencies
- DThe roadmap caters for the alignment with strategic objectives, so it establishes external

Why each option
The portfolio roadmap serves as the foundational document that identifies and establishes dependencies both within the portfolio (internal) and between the portfolio and external entities.
The portfolio roadmap captures the timeline, sequencing, and interdependencies of all portfolio components. Because it spans both internal components and external strategic interfaces, it forms the initial basis for identifying both internal dependencies (between components within the portfolio) and external dependencies (with other portfolios, programs, or organizational units).
While the portfolio roadmap may aggregate program and project roadmaps, its primary role regarding dependencies is not limited to internal dependencies - it also covers external ones.
The roadmap is not solely internal; it explicitly captures dependencies with entities outside the portfolio, making this answer incomplete.
Strategic alignment is a purpose of the roadmap, but framing it as only establishing external dependencies is incorrect - the roadmap addresses both internal and external dependencies.
