A team member claims that if a project delivers all its specialist products on time, within budget, and to the agreed quality criteria, its Business Case is automatically proven to be justified. Which response best reflects PRINCE2 7 guidance on the Business Case practice?
AJustification depends on the intended benefits being realized through the outcomes that follow from adopting the outputs, which is separate from delivering the outputs to time, cost and quality
BJustification is decided solely by whether the Project Board approves each End Stage Report
CJustification is established retrospectively, once the end-of-project lessons report has been produced and approved
DJustification is guaranteed as long as the project stays within the cost and time tolerances agreed for every management stage
Show answer & explanation
A is correct. A common misconception is equating successful delivery of outputs with a justified investment. PRINCE2 7's Business Case practice is explicit that outputs enable outcomes, and it is the benefits derived from those outcomes — assessed against costs, timescale and risk — that determine ongoing and ultimate justification, not simply hitting delivery targets.
