Why each option
When a new stakeholder is identified during the 'Manage Portfolio Information' process, the Portfolio Communication Management Plan must be updated to include their communication requirements.
Portfolio reports are outputs generated from existing communication plans - they are not updated to register new stakeholders.
The Portfolio Communication Management Plan defines who receives what information, in what format, and at what frequency. Identifying a new stakeholder means their communication needs, preferences, and information requirements must be added to this plan to ensure they are properly included in portfolio communications going forward.
The Portfolio Charter authorizes the portfolio and defines high-level scope - it is not updated to record new stakeholders identified during information management.
Portfolio Process Assets store historical information and reusable templates, not the active list of stakeholders and their communication requirements.
