Selected Answer: D

Revising the metrics and meeting with component managers to explain the resulting new processes (option A) could be a viable approach, but it might not be the immediate response needed to address senior management's concern about the alignment of the portfolio efforts with previously agreed-upon metrics. While refining or updating metrics is essential for ensuring alignment with organizational objectives, the first step should involve understanding senior management's concerns and their specific expectations regarding the existing metrics. Directly reviewing the established performance measures with senior management (option D) enables the team to gather insights, clarify expectations, and determine if the current metrics are meeting their informational needs.
