PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question

⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse accountability with responsibility, mistakenly assigning the maintenance of the Business Case to the Executive instead of the Project Manager. In PRINCE2, the Executive is accountable for the Business Case, but the Project Manager is responsible for its day-to-day maintenance and monitoring.
