PRINCE2F Project Initiation and Stages Practice Question
A project is in the Initiation Stage. The project manager needs to create a plan for the next stage, which is a delivery stage. Which PRINCE2 plan should be produced?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming the Project Plan covers stage-level detail, but the Project Plan is high-level and a Stage Plan is needed for the next stage.
Answer choices
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
✓
Stage Plan
The project manager should produce a Stage Plan for the next delivery stage. Stage Plans are created for each management stage, except the Initiation Stage, which is covered by the Project Plan. They provide the detailed planning necessary to manage the stage effectively.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Project Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Project Plan is created during the Initiation Stage and provides an overview of the entire project. It is not specific to a single delivery stage. The project manager needs a more detailed plan for the next stage, not the high-level project plan.
- ✓
Stage Plan
Why this is correct
A Stage Plan is produced for each management stage of the project. It provides the detail needed to manage the stage, including products, activities, resources, and tolerances. For the next delivery stage, the project manager should create a Stage Plan.
- ✗
Team Plan
Why it's wrong here
A Team Plan is created by a Team Manager to plan the work of a team. It is optional and only used when the project manager delegates work to a team manager. The project manager is responsible for the Stage Plan, not the Team Plan, in this scenario.
- ✗
Exception Plan
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Plan is produced when a stage or project is forecast to exceed its tolerances. It replaces the current Stage Plan or Project Plan. There is no indication of an exception in this scenario, so an Exception Plan is not appropriate.
