What purpose does a portfolio serve in an organization?

To manage individual projects without interrelation
To facilitate the attainment of strategic business goals
To outline the operational work required by the organization
To define project management policies only

The correct answer is: To facilitate the attainment of strategic business goals

A portfolio serves to facilitate the attainment of strategic business goals because it includes a collection of projects that have been selected and prioritized to align with the organization's overall objectives. Option A is incorrect because a portfolio involves multiple projects that are interconnected and contribute to the organization's success, rather than solely focusing on individual projects. Option C is incorrect because operational work is typically managed separately from the project portfolio. Option D is incorrect because a portfolio not only includes project management policies, but also provides a holistic view of all projects in relation to the organization's strategic goals.
