Question
Since you work for a global aerospace and defense organization, it decided to pilot the implementation of portfolio management in its cargo aviation business unit. You were asked to lead this initiative and realized before you could proceed, you should find out information about all the existing projects, programs, and operational activities. This task took three months to complete, but with this list, you now can use it to set up categories for the work that is under way and to also define criteria to use to propose new components. As a result you should:

Explanation
Before using the newly defined categories and criteria operationally, they must be validated against the portfolio roadmap to confirm strategic alignment. The portfolio roadmap represents the organization's intended direction for the portfolio; categories and criteria that are misaligned with it would result in components being selected or prioritized incorrectly. Option A (optimizing existing work) is a subsequent step that depends on having aligned criteria. Option C (setting up a Portfolio Review Board) is a governance step that may already be in place or will follow once the framework is aligned. Option D (performance plan) is premature until the foundational alignment between criteria and strategy is confirmed.
