Match each benefit planning concept on the left with its correct description on the right. Items: 1. Business case 2. Benefits realization plan 3. Project charter 4. Benefits owner Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Business case → Justifies the project investment by documenting expected benefits and costs 2. Benefits realization plan → Documents how and when project benefits will be delivered and measured 3. Project charter → Formally authorizes the project and appoints the project manager 4. Benefits owner → Individual responsible for ensuring expected benefits are achieved

Explanation

The business case provides the economic justification for the project. The benefits realization plan outlines how benefits will be delivered and tracked throughout and after the project. The project charter formally authorizes the project and names the project manager. The benefits owner is the person accountable for ensuring the intended benefits are realized, often continuing beyond project closure.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns the business case to authorizing the project (which belongs to the project charter), the benefits realization plan to the benefits owner role, the project charter to justifying the investment (which belongs to the business case), and the benefits owner to documenting benefit delivery (which belongs to the benefits realization plan). Multiple pairings are swapped.

**Why not B:** This option incorrectly assigns the business case to documenting benefit delivery timing (which belongs to the benefits realization plan), the benefits realization plan to authorizing the project (which belongs to the charter), the project charter to the benefits owner role, and the benefits owner to justifying the investment (which belongs to the business case). All four pairings are wrong.

**Why not D:** This option incorrectly assigns the business case to the benefits owner role (which is a person, not a document purpose). While the benefits realization plan and project charter are correctly matched, misclassifying the business case's purpose and the benefits owner's definition demonstrates confusion between documents and roles.
