A. B. C. D.

B.

During the Managing a Stage Boundary process, the Business Case is used to justify the continuing viability of the project and to enable the Project Board to decide whether or not to authorize the project to move forward into the next stage.

The Business Case is a document that outlines the reasons for undertaking the project and the expected benefits that will be achieved. It is used to determine whether the project is still viable and whether it should continue to receive funding and resources.

In the Managing a Stage Boundary process, the Project Manager prepares an updated Business Case to assess whether the project is still feasible and to determine if it is worth continuing. The Project Board then reviews the updated Business Case to decide whether or not to authorize the project to move into the next stage.

Option A, "Enable the Project Board to decide whether or not to authorize the project" is incorrect as it pertains to the initiation of the project and not to the Managing a Stage Boundary process.

Option C, "Enable the Project Board to decide whether or not to authorize project closure" is also incorrect. The Business Case is not used to decide whether or not to close the project during the Managing a Stage Boundary process.

Option D, "Justify the initiation of a project" is incorrect as it pertains to the justification of the project's feasibility during the initial stage of the project, not during the Managing a Stage Boundary process.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B, "Justify the continuing viability of the project."
