Match each project initiation activity on the left with its PRIMARY benefit on the right. Items: 1. Developing the project charter 2. Identifying stakeholders 3. Defining high-level requirements 4. Conducting benefit analysis Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Developing the project charter → Establishes formal authorization and PM authority 2. Identifying stakeholders → Ensures appropriate engagement and communication 3. Defining high-level requirements → Provides initial scope boundaries for planning 4. Conducting benefit analysis → Justifies the business value of the project

Explanation

The project charter formally authorizes the project and grants the PM authority. Identifying stakeholders enables proper engagement planning. High-level requirements set initial scope boundaries. Benefit analysis demonstrates why the project is worth pursuing and supports business case development.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns initial scope boundaries to the charter (instead of formal authorization), business value justification to stakeholder identification, formal authorization to high-level requirements, and engagement planning to benefit analysis. Every match is misaligned.

**Why not B:** This option pairs the charter with justifying business value (which belongs to benefit analysis), stakeholders with engagement (correct), high-level requirements with scope boundaries (correct), and benefit analysis with formal authorization (which belongs to the charter). Two matches are wrong.

**Why not C:** This option assigns engagement to the charter, scope boundaries to stakeholders, business value to requirements, and formal authorization to benefit analysis. It scrambles the relationships, placing each benefit with the wrong initiation activity.
