What is the PRIMARY purpose of a benefits management plan during project initiation?
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: To define how project benefits will be measured, tracked, and realized

Explanation

The benefits management plan establishes the approach for measuring, tracking, and ensuring realization of expected project benefits. It connects project outputs to business value.

**Why not A:** Justifying the project budget is a function of the business case, not the benefits management plan. While the benefits plan supports the business case, its primary purpose is defining how benefits will be measured and realized, not justifying financial expenditures.

**Why not B:** Identifying risks that could prevent project completion is the purpose of risk management activities and the risk register. The benefits management plan focuses on expected outcomes and value delivery, not on identifying threats to project completion.

**Why not C:** Simply listing all possible benefits without defining measurement and realization approaches would not serve the plan's purpose. The benefits management plan must go beyond listing benefits to establish how they will be tracked, measured, and ensured over time.
