Business Case
Project Plan
Communication Management Strategy
Project Product Description
Answer is Business Case
Please refer to section A.2.2. of Appendix A ("Managing successful projects with PRINCE2"):
"Expected dis-benefits The impact of one or more outcomes of the project might be perceived as negative by one or more stakeholders. Dis-benefits are actual consequences of an activity whereas, by definition, a risk is uncertain and may never materialize. For example, a decision to merge two elements of an organization onto a new site may have benefits (e.g. better joint working), costs (e.g. expanding one of the two sites) and dis benefits (e.g. drop in productivity during the merger). Dis-benefits need to be valued and incorporated into the investment appraisal."
