PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
Who is responsible for ensuring that the project remains viable in terms of Business Case?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates assume the Project Board as a whole is responsible for the Business Case, but PRINCE2 specifically assigns this accountability to the Executive alone, making the Board's role collective approval rather than individual ownership.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Executive
The Executive is the single individual on the Project Board who has ultimate accountability for the project's business justification. They own the Business Case and must ensure it remains viable throughout the project lifecycle, approving any changes that affect its viability. The Project Manager manages the day-to-day work but does not own the Business Case; the Executive alone is responsible for its ongoing viability.
