Why each option
Performing a readiness assessment to evaluate the organization's capacity to bridge the gap between the current 'as-is' and desired 'to-be' portfolio states is part of the 'Manage Strategic Change' process.
'Optimize Portfolio' focuses on balancing and adjusting the component mix for maximum strategic value - it does not involve organizational readiness assessments.
The 'Manage Strategic Change' process involves assessing organizational readiness for change and determining what steps are needed to transition from the current portfolio state to the target future state. Readiness assessments are a key activity in this process, as they evaluate whether the organization has the capability, culture, and capacity to execute the strategic changes required by the portfolio.
'Develop Portfolio Roadmap' creates a visual timeline of portfolio components mapped to strategic goals - it does not assess organizational readiness for change.
'Develop Portfolio Strategic Plan' establishes the strategic direction and goals of the portfolio - it precedes readiness assessment rather than containing it.
