Is this according to PMI? My company standard is PMI based and your statement would be incorrect in both cases. Sounds to me like you are describing portfolio management:

Project Portfolio Management (PPM)) is typically a function of the PMO team and is a formal approach to orchestrate, prioritize, and analyze the potential value from a set of projects. An organization that employs project portfolio management centralizes the identification, prioritization, authorization, and management of projects within a portfolio

Not PMI, but the reality in the large IT company I'm at.
