Correct answer & explanation
✓
Continued business justification
The 'continued business justification' principle requires that the business justification for the project is reviewed and updated throughout the project to ensure ongoing viability. Option A (Manage by stages) focuses on planning and control, not justification. Option C (Focus on products) emphasizes defining and delivering products. Option D (Tailor to suit the project environment) is indeed a PRINCE2 principle, but it addresses adapting the method, not viability. Therefore, only option B correctly ensures continuous justification of objectives against benefits.
