PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Who is responsible for maintaining the Business Case throughout the project?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The Project Manager
The Project Manager is responsible for maintaining the Business Case throughout the project because they manage day-to-day activities, monitor progress against the Business Case, and update it when changes occur. PRINCE2 assigns this responsibility to the Project Manager to ensure the Business Case remains viable and reflects current project realities. The Project Manager prepares and updates the Business Case for approval by the Project Board, but the ongoing maintenance is their duty.
