Haha, did you see that one about the traffic light format? I bet the exam writers were feeling a bit cheeky with that one. But in all seriousness, I think C is the way to go. Aligning the portfolio with the org's value areas is crucial.

I'm not so sure about that. I think B - showing dependencies between components with a different color - could be really useful. That way you can see how the different pieces of the portfolio are connected.

I was leaning towards D, using a standardized format across components. That would make it easier to compare and analyze the data, don't you think?

Hmm, this question is a bit tricky. I think the answer is C - setting it up to show the organizational value areas in the company. That would give you a good overview of how the portfolio aligns with the business objectives.
