PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Which role is responsible for ensuring the project provides value for money and is aligned with business strategy?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the misconception that the Project Manager owns the business case or that the Senior User ensures strategic alignment, but PRINCE2 explicitly assigns business case ownership and strategic accountability to the Executive alone.
