Project Manager
Project Manager.

The Executive is ultimately accountable for the Business Case, but the Project Manager performs the actual maintenance activities.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project Assurance
Why it's wrong here
Project Assurance monitors the Business Case’s ongoing viability but does not own the document; the Executive is accountable for maintaining it throughout the project. This option tempts because Assurance’s role includes reviewing the Business Case for continued alignment with corporate objectives, which could be mistaken for ownership. It would be correct only if the question asked who provides independent oversight of the Business Case’s validity, not who is responsible for its maintenance.
- ✗
Senior User
Why it's wrong here
The Senior User focuses on benefits realization, not maintenance of the Business Case.
- ✗
Executive
Why it's wrong here
The Executive is ultimately accountable for the Business Case but is not responsible for its day-to-day maintenance.
- ✓
Project Manager
Why this is correct
Correct. The Project Manager maintains the Business Case on a day-to-day basis, ensuring it is updated and remains viable.
