PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which component of the Business Case describes the expected measurable improvements resulting from the project?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse 'Reasons' (the justification) with 'Expected benefits' (the measurable outcomes), but PRINCE2 explicitly separates these components to ensure benefits are quantifiable and trackable.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Expected benefits
The 'Expected benefits' component of the Business Case in PRINCE2 specifically quantifies the measurable improvements that the project will deliver, such as increased revenue, reduced costs, or improved efficiency. These benefits must be defined in measurable terms to enable post-project evaluation against the Business Case. The other options describe different aspects: Reasons justify the project, Major risks identify uncertainties, and Dis-benefits document negative outcomes.
