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

A business case is developed during project initiation to justify why the project should be undertaken. It documents the expected benefits, costs, and the rationale for investing organizational resources in the project.

**Why not B:** Creating a detailed project schedule is a planning phase activity that occurs after the project has been authorized. The business case helps justify the project's existence during initiation, before detailed schedule planning begins.

**Why not C:** Assigning tasks to team members is an execution activity. During initiation, the team may not even be fully assembled yet. The business case justifies the investment, not the work assignments.

**Why not D:** Identifying all risks and mitigation strategies is part of the risk management planning process, which occurs during the planning phase. While the business case may reference high-level risks, its primary purpose is to justify the project investment and document expected benefits.
