When identifying the basis of the business need for a project all of the following can be considered except____,

  1. Regular plant maintenance

  2. Market demands

  3. Technological advances

  4. Legal requirements

The correct answer is: Regular plant maintenance

A is incorrect because regular plant maintenance can also be a reason for a project. Market demands, technological advances, and legal requirements are all potential factors that can drive the need for a project. Regular plant maintenance, however, is not a driving factor but rather a maintenance activity that may be necessary as a result of a project being implemented. Therefore, it is not considered as a basis for the business need for a project.
