Why each option
The Authorize Portfolio process focuses on formally approving components and allocating resources to either develop component proposals or execute approved portfolio components.
Making governance decisions is a role of governance bodies throughout the entire portfolio lifecycle, not the specific objective of the Authorize Portfolio process.
The primary purpose of the Authorize Portfolio process per the PMI Standard for Portfolio Management is to allocate resources - both to develop component proposals for new initiatives and to fund and resource components already approved for execution. This is the core decision and output of the authorization stage.
Creating and maintaining a qualified list of portfolio components is an output of the Define Portfolio process, not the Authorize Portfolio process.
Balancing the portfolio for performance and value delivery is the objective of the Optimize Portfolio process, not the Authorize Portfolio process.
