Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The expected success level for benefits, time, cost, quality, scope, sustainability, and risk in a project should be set by the project baseline. The baseline establishes the initial scope of what the project is expected to deliver, including standards and targets against which project performance can be measured.

Project context seems like it could be relevant too, but I feel like it’s more about understanding the environment rather than setting specific success levels.
