PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
A project is in the Initiating a Project process. The project manager is creating the Project Plan. Which management product should be used as a key input for developing the Project Plan?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the Business Case as the primary input for planning, but PRINCE2 specifically requires the Project Brief to provide the initial scope and objectives for the Project Plan, while the Business Case is justified later using the plan's estimates.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Brief
The Project Brief is the correct key input because it contains the high-level scope, objectives, and constraints that define the project's boundaries. During the Initiating a Project process, the Project Plan is developed by elaborating on the information in the Project Brief, ensuring the plan aligns with the project's initial justification and requirements.
