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

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Executive
The Executive is the single person responsible for the Business Case throughout the project. PRINCE2 assigns this accountability to the Executive because they own the project's justification and must ensure the Business Case remains viable, aligned with corporate strategy, and that any deviations are formally assessed. The Project Manager maintains the Business Case document on a day-to-day basis, but the Executive retains ultimate responsibility for its content and approval.
