CAPM Practice: Determine how to follow and execute planned strategies or frameworks

The business case and benefits management plan define the expected value and outcomes. Referencing these documents helps ensure the project remains aligned with its intended benefits throughout execution.

**Why not A:** The procurement management plan focuses on acquiring goods and services from external vendors. While vendor contracts support project execution, the procurement plan does not track whether the project remains aligned with its intended cost-reduction benefits.

**Why not C:** The quality management plan ensures deliverables meet specified requirements and standards. While quality is important, it does not address whether the project is delivering the strategic benefit of reducing operating costs by 15% annually.

**Why not D:** The schedule baseline tracks whether tasks are completed on time, but it does not measure whether the project is achieving its intended business benefits. Meeting schedule targets does not guarantee that the 15% cost reduction objective will be realized.
