The core purpose of portfolio management within the Strategic Alignment domain is toensure project investments are aligned with organizational strategic objectives. This alignment drives value creation, supports innovation, and sustains competitive advantage.
While audits (Option A), monitoring timelines and budgets (Option C), and leadership involvement (Option D) are important, the foundational strategy is to maintain strategic alignment so that resources are allocated to initiatives with the greatest impact.
PMI-PMOCP guidelines emphasize strategic alignment as the primary mechanism to maximize portfolio value and organizational success.
