PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Who is responsible for maintaining the Business Case throughout the project?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2 often tests the distinction between accountability (Executive) and operational responsibility (Project Manager), leading candidates to incorrectly select the Executive because they associate the Business Case with ownership rather than maintenance.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
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 escalate any deviations to the Project Board. PRINCE2 assigns this operational responsibility to the Project Manager to ensure the Business Case remains viable and aligned with project objectives.
