The Project Manager
In PRINCE2, the Project Manager is responsible for maintaining the Business Case throughout the project. This includes monitoring the Business Case against the project's progress and updating it as necessary to ensure it remains viable and aligned with the project's objectives. The Project Manager does this by regularly reviewing the Business Case and reporting any changes or deviations to the Project Board.
