Question 24

Question

Assume your airline just merged with a competitor, making it the largest in the country. Your
company has a defined portfolio management process in place, which is considered effective by your
executives. The other airline uses a more informal approach. Executives from both airlines now have
different philosophies concerning new work to be pursued to be the leading airline in the country. In
terms of the Authorize Portfolio process, this means:

Accepted Answer

The portfolio requirements should be evaluated

If "best" means the one addressing process alignment, wouldn't A make more sense since merging would trigger process changes across both sides?

Meera U. · Answer

I don't think it's A. Even if processes might need tweaks later, the immediate concern in Authorize Portfolio is re-evaluating requirements (B). Mergers bring new priorities and stakeholders. A is tempting, but B lines up better with PMI logic here.

Sara M. · Answer

Probably B. Portfolio requirements need a fresh look right after a merger like this, before restructuring everything or hiring outsiders.

Sara G. · Answer

Not necessarily, it's B. The big thing here is that after a merger, evaluating portfolio requirements comes first before you overhaul processes. Agree?
