Over the years, your organization has grown significantly as it has entered new markets while maintaining its presence in its traditional product line of security systems. The company now has eight different business units rather than three, which was the case only two years ago, and it set up funding originally such that it was only allocated to one business unit and could not be transferred to others. At the recently held Portfolio Oversight Committee meeting, five business units did not add components, but some were completed. The other three added a number of programs and projects, which were authorized. Now funding for these new components is an issue. This means:

  1. Another Committee meeting is required to focus on the funding problem
  2. The sponsors of the newly authorized components need to work with their business units to determine how funds will be allocated
  3. The three business units need to evaluate their portfolios and recommend termination of some components to the Committee
  4. Changes are required as to how funds are allocated

Answer(s): D
