PRINCE2F Project Initiation and Stages Practice Question
A project is in Initiation. The project manager wants to use a previous project's lessons. Which document should they review?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) of a previous project with the Lessons Log, assuming that all project information is contained in the PID, but PRINCE2 specifically separates lessons into the Lessons Log for easy retrieval and application.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Lessons Log
The Lessons Log is the PRINCE2 document specifically designed to capture and reference lessons from previous projects. During Initiation, the project manager should review the Lessons Log to identify relevant lessons that can inform planning and avoid past mistakes. The other documents serve different purposes and are not the primary source for historical lessons.
