PRINCE2F Practice Question: Overview of PRINCE2 and the project environment
A project is developing a new medical device. The project manager is reviewing the project's organization structure. The project board has three roles: Executive, Senior User, and Senior Supplier. The Executive is concerned about ensuring that the project delivers value for money. Which role is responsible for ensuring that the project delivers the required benefits as defined in the Business Case?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that the Executive, who owns the Business Case, is also responsible for ensuring benefits delivery, but that responsibility is delegated to the Senior User.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Executive
Why it's wrong here
The Executive is ultimately accountable for the project's success and owns the Business Case, but the specific responsibility for ensuring that the project delivers the required benefits as defined in the Business Case rests with the Senior User, who represents the interests of those who will use the project's products.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of the project and for delivering the project's products to the required quality, time, and cost. While they contribute to the Business Case, they do not own it; the Executive owns the Business Case, and the Senior User ensures benefits are realized.
- ✗
Senior Supplier
Why it's wrong here
The Senior Supplier represents the interests of those designing, developing, facilitating, procuring, and implementing the project's products. This role focuses on the technical feasibility and delivery of products, not on ensuring that the project delivers the benefits defined in the Business Case.
- ✓
Senior User
Why this is correct
The Senior User is responsible for specifying the needs of those who will use the project's products and for ensuring that the solution will deliver the expected benefits. This role provides the user perspective and confirms that the benefits defined in the Business Case are realized through the project's outputs.
