- ✗
Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Project Manager may help create the Business Case but does not own it.
- ✗
Senior User
Why it's wrong here
The Senior User represents the users but does not own the Business Case.
- ✓
Executive
Why this is correct
Correct. The Executive is the owner of the Business Case and is responsible for its ongoing viability.
- ✗
Senior Supplier
Why it's wrong here
The Senior Supplier is not responsible for maintaining the Business Case because that accountability lies with the Executive, who owns the Business Case and ensures its ongoing viability. The Senior Supplier’s role is to provide resources and expertise for the project’s products, not to manage the justification for the project. This option tempts because the Senior Supplier does contribute to the Business Case by confirming the feasibility of proposed solutions, but they never hold the authority to maintain or update it.
