PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
A project is in the Initiating a Project process. The project manager is reviewing the Business Case and notes that the expected benefits are not clearly linked to the project's objectives. Which practice should the project manager use to address this issue?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between the Business Case practice (which owns the justification and benefit-objective linkage) and the Plans practice (which owns the schedule and activities), leading candidates to incorrectly choose Plans when the issue is about benefit alignment rather than sequencing.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Business Case practice
The Business Case practice is responsible for establishing and maintaining the justification for the project, including the link between objectives and expected benefits. During the Initiating a Project process, the Business Case must be refined to ensure that all benefits are clearly traceable to the project's objectives, as this alignment is critical for ongoing viability decisions. The project manager should use the Business Case practice to address this gap by updating the Business Case to explicitly map each benefit to a specific project objective.
