Executive

The Project Board does not maintain the Business Case directly. The Senior User represents user requirements.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager develops and maintains the Business Case daily, but the Executive is responsible for it.
- ✗
Project Board
Why it's wrong here
The Project Board provides overall direction and approves the Business Case at key decision points, ensuring the project's continued viability. It does not, however, undertake the ongoing, detailed work of *maintaining* and updating the Business Case throughout the project lifecycle. This role is tempting as the Board is accountable for authorising the project and its stages based on the Business Case, making it responsible for *approving* its justification, rather than its continuous upkeep.
- ✗
Senior User
Why it's wrong here
The Senior User represents user requirements and is not responsible for the Business Case.
- ✓
Executive
Why this is correct
The Executive is accountable for the Business Case throughout the project.
