PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
A project is in the Initiating a Project process. The Project Manager is compiling the document that consolidates the Project Plan, Business Case, benefits, risks, and controls into a single baseline for the Project Board. What is this document called?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is selecting the Project Brief, which is an earlier outline, rather than the Project Initiation Documentation that consolidates the full baseline during initiation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Initiation Documentation
The Project Initiation Documentation is the consolidated baseline assembled during Initiating a Project, combining the Project Plan, Business Case, benefits, risks, and control approaches. The Project Brief precedes it, a Stage Plan is a lower-level control document, and the End Project Report evaluates the project at closure. Only the Project Initiation Documentation serves as the single baseline for Board authorisation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Stage Plan
Why it's wrong here
A Stage Plan covers a single management stage and is used to control that stage's delivery. It is a component that may inform the Project Plan but does not consolidate the Business Case, benefits, risks, and control approaches into a project-level baseline, so it cannot be the document described.
- ✗
End Project Report
Why it's wrong here
The End Project Report is produced during Closing a Project and reviews performance against the baseline once delivery is complete. It is an end-of-project evaluation document, not the baseline created during initiation, so it serves a completely different purpose and timing.
- ✗
Project Brief
Why it's wrong here
The Project Brief is produced in Starting Up a Project and provides the initial outline used to decide whether to initiate the project. It lacks the detailed plans, business justification, and control approaches that make up the baseline, so it is a precursor to, not the equivalent of, the consolidated initiation document.
- ✓
Project Initiation Documentation
Why this is correct
The Project Initiation Documentation is the consolidated baseline produced during Initiating a Project. It brings together the Project Plan, Business Case, benefits management approach, risk management approach, quality management approach, change control approach, communication management approach, and project controls, giving the Project Board a single reference for authorising the project.
