Why each option
A business case justifies why a project should be undertaken by documenting the business need, strategic alignment, and expected financial return.
The business case is the formal document that articulates the rationale for initiating a project, including the problem or opportunity being addressed, how the project aligns with organizational strategy, and the financial benefits such as revenue projections. It is used by sponsors and decision-makers to authorize or reject a project before a charter is issued.
A project charter formally authorizes the project and names the project manager, but it does not focus on the business justification or financial case.
Key project deliverables are the specific outputs or products the project will produce, not the justification for why the project exists.
Project objectives are measurable goals defined after project approval, not the strategic and financial rationale that precedes it.
