PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are components of the Business Case?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between the Business Case components and other management products; the trap here is confusing the Risk Register or Product Descriptions as part of the Business Case, when they are separate documents with distinct purposes in PRINCE2.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Investment appraisal
The Business Case in PRINCE2 is the key document that justifies the project's initiation and continued viability. It must include an investment appraisal to evaluate the financial viability of the project, and it must define the expected benefits that the project aims to deliver. These two components are essential for decision-making and are explicitly required by the PRINCE2 methodology.
