[All PRINCE2-Foundation Questions]

According to the 'continued business justification' principle, when is a justifiable reason for a project FIRST needed?

AAfter the executive has been appointed

BWhen authorized by the corporate, programme management or the customer

CBefore work to start the project commences

DWhen an organization produces its business plans

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

According to the 'continued business justification' principle in PRINCE2, a justifiable reason for a project is required before any work to start the project begins. This ensures that projects are initiated only when there is a clear business need, aligned with organizational objectives, and there is an expectation of value creation. The business case is developed during the initial stages of the project and is maintained and reviewed throughout the project lifecycle.

I thought it was tied to business plans, but C makes sense too.

Wait, are we sure it's not when the exec is appointed?

I vaguely recall a similar question about project initiation phases, and I think it was about needing justification before starting any work. So, I lean towards C.

I feel like this question is tricky. I want to say it’s when the project is authorized, but that might be too late.

I remember discussing this principle in class, and I believe it was emphasized that the justification must be established before any work begins. So, I think it's C.

I think the justification is needed before the project starts, but I'm not entirely sure if that's option C or D.
