Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
After the project has closed and operational benefits begin.
Why it's wrong here
Too late; benefits must be planned before execution begins.
- ✗
During the Starting Up a Project process before the Project Brief is drafted.
Why it's wrong here
Starting Up a Project only captures outline benefits; the formal plan is created during initiation.
- ✓
During project initiation as part of the Business Case development.
Why this is correct
Correct. The Benefits Management Plan is created during initiation to outline how and when benefits will be measured.
- ✗
During project closure, right before handing over to operations.
Why it's wrong here
Waiting until closure means benefits were never planned or tracked during the project lifecycle.
