A multinational corporation has separate governance boards for each business unit, each with its own investment criteria. The corporate strategy emphasizes cross-selling and shared platforms, but business unit boards rarely consider corporate-level synergies. As a result, the portfolio contains overlapping projects that compete for the same resources. Which governance change would best address this issue?

Allow each business unit board to continue as is but require them to share minutes with the corporate strategy team

Have the Portfolio Office arbitrate resource disputes between business units

Merge all business unit boards into a single board that meets monthly

Create a corporate portfolio governance board that sets common investment criteria and reviews cross-unit initiatives

Which outcome is most directly supported by active senior management engagement in portfolio management?

Every project in the portfolio is delivered using the same project management methodology.

All projects in the portfolio are funded equally to avoid bias.

The portfolio is managed as a single, coherent set of investments rather than as independent projects.

The portfolio office is staffed entirely by senior managers.

Which service is typically provided by a Portfolio Office?

Approving all changes to project scope.

Managing the day-to-day activities of individual projects.

Maintaining the portfolio dashboard and reporting on portfolio performance.

Writing the business case for every project in the portfolio.
