Match each project initiation activity with its primary purpose. Items: 1. Developing the project charter 2. Identifying stakeholders 3. Defining business benefits 4. Establishing success criteria Which option correctly matches each item to its description?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Developing the project charter → Formally authorizing the project and assigning the project manager 2. Identifying stakeholders → Creating a list of parties affected by or affecting the project 3. Defining business benefits → Documenting the value the project will deliver to the organization 4. Establishing success criteria → Determining how project outcomes will be measured

Explanation

The project charter formally authorizes the project and names the PM. Stakeholder identification creates the stakeholder register. Benefit planning documents expected value delivery. Success criteria establish measurable outcomes that determine project success.

**Why not A:** This option swaps the purposes of developing the project charter and establishing success criteria. The charter formally authorizes the project, not determines measurement approaches. Success criteria define how outcomes will be measured, not authorize the project.

**Why not B:** This option incorrectly assigns business benefit documentation to the charter and formal project authorization to the business case. The charter authorizes the project, while the business case documents the value and investment justification.

**Why not C:** This option incorrectly matches the charter to stakeholder identification and stakeholder identification to benefit documentation. The charter's primary purpose is formal authorization, and stakeholder identification focuses on mapping affected parties.
