PRINCE2F Business Case and Organizing Practice Question
A project is in its closing stage. The business case shows that all planned benefits have been realized. What should the project manager do?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates think closing the project immediately (Option D) is efficient, but PRINCE2 mandates a formal closure process that includes updating the Business Case and producing the End Project Report to ensure accountability and learning.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Update the Business Case with actual benefits and produce the End Project Report
In PRINCE2, the closing stage requires the project manager to formally confirm that all planned benefits have been realized. Updating the Business Case with actual benefits and producing the End Project Report is the correct action because it provides a formal record of benefit realization and lessons learned, which is essential for organizational learning and project closure. This aligns with the PRINCE2 principle of 'continued business justification' and the 'Closing a Project' process.
