PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
During the Managing a Stage Boundary process, the Project Manager is preparing the End Stage Report. The Project Board has asked for an update on how the project is performing against the business case. The Project Manager knows that the Senior User has been closely involved in benefits reviews. Which role is accountable for confirming that the project's products will deliver the expected benefits?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is attributing benefits confirmation to the Executive, who holds overall business case accountability, rather than to the Senior User, who is specifically accountable for benefits realization from the user perspective.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Senior User
The Senior User is accountable for ensuring that the project's products will deliver the expected benefits. This role represents the user community and is responsible for specifying their needs, confirming that the solution meets those needs, and realizing the benefits. While the Executive is ultimately accountable for the business case, the Senior User provides the user perspective and confirms benefits realization.
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 business case and ensuring that the project delivers the expected benefits. However, the day-to-day confirmation that products will meet user needs and deliver benefits is delegated to the Senior User. The Executive retains overall accountability but does not typically confirm individual product benefits.
- ✗
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 products to the required quality, cost, and time. However, the Project Manager does not confirm that the products will deliver the expected benefits. That accountability lies with the Senior User, who represents the users and ensures the products meet their needs.
- ✗
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 is accountable for the technical integrity of the project and ensuring that the supplier resources are available. The Senior Supplier does not confirm benefits realization, as that is the user's perspective.
- ✓
Senior User
Why this is correct
The Senior User is accountable 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 includes confirming that the products meet user requirements and will realize the benefits defined in the business case. The Senior User represents the user community and is responsible for benefits realization.
