PRINCE2F Practice Question: Overview of PRINCE2 and the project environment
A project is in the initiation stage. The project manager identifies that the project's objectives are not aligned with the corporate strategy. Which management product should the project manager review to address this issue?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates confuse the Business Case with the Project Brief, but the Business Case is developed later in the initiation stage and does not serve as the initial check for strategic alignment.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Brief
The Project Brief is the correct management product to review because it contains the high-level project definition, including the project objectives and how they align with corporate strategy. During the initiation stage, if the objectives are misaligned, the Project Brief provides the basis for reassessing the project's justification and strategic fit before proceeding further.
