Why each option
A finding about a new tool that could improve portfolio communication effectiveness should be captured in Portfolio Process Assets, which store lessons learned, tools, and knowledge gained during portfolio management.
Organizational Process Assets are owned at the organizational level and updated through formal organizational governance, not by a portfolio manager acting on a single finding.
The Portfolio Communication Management Plan would be updated only if the tool is formally adopted - a preliminary finding of potential benefit does not yet warrant a plan change.
Enterprise Environmental Factors are external or internal conditions that influence but cannot be directly controlled or updated by the portfolio team, such as market conditions and regulations.
Portfolio Process Assets are artifacts, practices, and knowledge specific to the portfolio that can be used to guide future management activities. A finding about a new collaboration software's potential to improve communication is a lesson learned or new knowledge asset that belongs in Portfolio Process Assets so it can inform future planning, process updates, and tool adoption decisions within the portfolio.
