Match each project initiation concept on the left with its correct description on the right. Items: 1. Business case 2. Project charter 3. Benefits management plan 4. Assumptions log Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Business case → Justifies the investment by documenting expected benefits and costs 2. Project charter → Documents high-level requirements and formally authorizes the project 3. Benefits management plan → Describes how and when project benefits will be delivered and measured 4. Assumptions log → Records factors believed to be true that could affect project planning

Explanation

The business case provides justification before approval. The project charter authorizes the project during initiation. The benefits management plan details how benefits will be realized throughout and after the project. The assumptions log captures factors that are assumed true but haven't been verified.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns the business case to recording assumptions (which belongs to the assumptions log) and the assumptions log to justifying the investment (which belongs to the business case). While it correctly matches the project charter and benefits management plan, the business case and assumptions log descriptions are swapped.

**Why not B:** This option incorrectly assigns the business case to describing benefit delivery (which belongs to the benefits management plan) and the benefits management plan to justifying the investment (which belongs to the business case). It also swaps the project charter and assumptions log descriptions.

**Why not D:** This option incorrectly assigns the business case to formally authorizing the project (which belongs to the project charter) and the project charter to describing benefit delivery (which belongs to the benefits management plan). All four pairings are mismatched.
