Core concepts
Concept 1
The practice establishes mechanisms to judge whether the project remains desirable, viable and achievable.
Exam cue: Trace output to outcome to benefit and identify who owns realization.
Concept 2
Outputs enable outcomes, which create benefits or dis-benefits in relation to business objectives.
Exam cue: Reassess the case when cost, risk, benefit, sustainability or context changes.
Concept 3
The project brief, business case, benefits management approach and sustainability management approach support justification.
Concept 4
Effective management develops, checks and maintains the case while aligning products, objectives and tolerances.
