Which TWO of the following are outputs of the project initiation phase?
⚠ Common exam trap
CompTIA often tests the distinction between outputs of initiation versus planning, specifically that the risk register and project schedule are planning-phase artifacts, not initiation deliverables, even though they are commonly mistaken as early outputs.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Stakeholder register
The stakeholder register is an output of the project initiation phase because it identifies all individuals or organizations impacted by the project and documents their interests, influence, and expectations. This register is created during initiation to ensure stakeholder engagement strategies are defined early, aligning with PMI's process of identifying stakeholders as part of the Initiating process group.
