Which technique is used to track the progress of benefits across a portfolio?

Maintaining a benefits register that records each benefit and its status

Performing a cost-benefit analysis for a single initiative

Conducting a SWOT analysis of the portfolio

Creating a work breakdown structure for each project

A software company has a portfolio of projects that require specialized data scientists. There is a limited pool of these experts, and several projects are competing for their time. The portfolio manager wants to ensure that the most valuable projects are prioritized. What is the most appropriate resource management technique?

Hire additional data scientists immediately to meet all demand.

Assign data scientists to projects on a first-come, first-served basis.

Let each project manager negotiate directly with the data scientists for their time.

Use capacity planning to map the availability of data scientists against the demand from projects, and use this to inform prioritization decisions.

A portfolio of projects has a limited number of senior developers who are critical to multiple projects. The portfolio manager must decide how to allocate these developers to maximize the overall value of the portfolio. What is the most appropriate approach?

Let the senior developers choose which projects they want to work on.

Use a prioritization model that scores projects based on strategic value and resource requirements, and allocate senior developers to the highest-scoring projects.

Allocate senior developers to the projects with the earliest deadlines, regardless of strategic value.

Allocate senior developers equally across all projects to ensure fairness.

Which practice is an example of optimizing resource use across a portfolio?

Sharing specialized resources across multiple projects

Hiring a dedicated team for every project

Allocating resources based on personal preferences

Avoiding any changes to resource assignments
