PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
A project is in the Initiating a Project process. The Project Manager is creating the Project Initiation Documentation. Which plan should be produced during this process?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is confusing the Project Plan (produced in Initiating a Project as part of the PID) with the Stage Plan (produced at stage boundaries) or the Exception Plan (produced only when tolerances are breached).
Answer choices

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Plan
The Project Plan is the high-level plan produced during Initiating a Project that describes how the project will deliver its products and is part of the Project Initiation Documentation (PID). It provides the baseline against which progress is monitored and is approved by the Project Board at the end of the initiation stage.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Exception Plan
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Plan replaces an approved Stage or Project Plan after a tolerance deviation, produced during Managing a Stage Boundary. It is tempting because it is a Project Manager plan, but no exception exists during Initiating a Project, where the Project Plan belongs in the PID.
- ✗
Team Plan
Why it's wrong here
A Team Plan covers work package delivery within a stage and is produced by the Team Manager during Managing a Stage Boundary or Controlling a Stage, not in Initiating a Project. It is tempting because planning occurs throughout the project, but the PID requires the Project Plan.
- ✗
Stage Plan
Why it's wrong here
A Stage Plan addresses one management stage and is created by the Project Manager during Managing a Stage Boundary, not while assembling the PID. It is tempting because stage-level planning is a Project Manager duty, but Initiating a Project produces the Project Plan covering the whole project.
- ✓
Project Plan
Why this is correct
The Project Plan is produced during Initiating a Project, alongside the Business Case, benefits management approach and risk approach. It provides the baseline against which the project board authorises and later monitors progress, satisfying the process's requirement for a documented plan.
