PRINCE2F People: organizations, teams, and leadership Practice Question
A project is in the Initiating a Project process. Which document is the key output of this process?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the Project Brief (an input) with the PID (the output), or assume the Business Case is the key output because it is a critical component, but the PID is the overarching deliverable that packages all initiation details.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
The Initiating a Project process produces the Project Initiation Documentation (PID), which is the key output that defines the project's scope, objectives, and approach. The PID consolidates information from the Project Brief and Business Case, providing a baseline for decision-making and governance throughout the project.
