Why each option
The PMIS supports processes that involve storing, retrieving, and distributing portfolio data. Developing the portfolio communication plan is a planning activity that designs communication strategy rather than executing information management.
Authorize Portfolio uses PMIS to record, communicate, and distribute authorization decisions and related portfolio data across the organization.
Manage Portfolio Information is directly dependent on PMIS as its primary tool for storing, retrieving, and disseminating portfolio information.
Develop Portfolio Performance Management Plan uses PMIS to access historical benchmarks, performance data, and reporting templates stored in the system.
Develop Portfolio Communication Plan focuses on defining how communications will be structured and delivered, not on managing or distributing portfolio information through a system. It is a planning process concerned with strategy design, and the PMI Standard does not list PMIS as a required tool or technique for this process.
