Exam PRINCE2-Foundation topic 1 question 327 discussion

The correct answer is: C. All projects have a business justification documented in a formal business case Explanation: The 'Continued Business Justification' principle ensures that every project has a valid reason to proceed, which is captured in a formal business case. This justification is reviewed and revalidated at key stages throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring that the project remains aligned with business objectives and continues to deliver value.

B is correct because applying the "continued business justification" principle prevents duplication of project objectives within an organisation's portfolio, ensuring that all projects contribute uniquely to business goals.

Poor alignment with corporate, programme management or customer strategies can also result in organizations having a portfolio of projects that have mutually inconsistent or duplicated objectives.

D. Regular revalidation ensures that all funds allocated to the project will be used. The continued business justification principle ensures that a project remains aligned with its business goals and that it continues to be justified throughout its life cycle. Regular revalidation of the business case helps confirm that the project remains worthwhile, and it ensures that resources (such as funds) are being used effectively and appropriately.

B is correct, please change; While the other options have some relevance, they are not the most direct advantages: A. Legislative projects do not require a business justification before initiation: While some legislative projects might have a different type of justification, the principle of continued justification still applies to ensure they remain relevant and necessary. C. All projects have a business justification documented in a formal business case: While a business case is a common way to document justification, other methods might be used, and the focus is on the ongoing assessment, not just the initial documentation.   D. Regular revalidation ensures that all funds allocated to the project will be used: While revalidation can help with budget control, the primary focus is on ensuring the project's continued value and alignment with strategic goals.

I would have said B also.

I think B is correct. 3.1 ...Organizations that lack rigour in business justification may find that projects proceed even when there are few real benefits or when a project has only tentative associations with the corporate, programme management or customer strategies. Poor alignment with corporate, programme management or customer strategies can also result in organizations having a portfolio of projects that have mutually inconsistent or duplicated objectives.
