PRINCE2F Project Initiation and Stages Practice Question
During the Initiation Stage of a PRINCE2 project, the project manager is assembling the Project Initiation Documentation (PID). The project board has requested that the PID include a clear definition of the project's approach to risk management and change control. Which TWO management products within the PID should the project manager use to address these requests? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that the Business Case or Project Plan covers risk management and change control, when those are specifically addressed in the Risk Management Strategy and Change Control Approach.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Risk Management Strategy
The Risk Management Strategy defines the project's approach to risk management, and the Change Control Approach defines the project's approach to change control. Both are management products within the Project Initiation Documentation and directly address the project board's request. The other products serve different purposes and do not define these management approaches.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Quality Management Strategy
Why it's wrong here
The Quality Management Strategy defines the project's quality approach, including quality techniques, responsibilities, and activities, but it does not cover risk management or change control. Those are addressed in the Risk Management Strategy and Change Control Approach. The Quality Management Strategy is focused on ensuring that products meet quality standards.
- ✗
Business Case
Why it's wrong here
The Business Case justifies the project by outlining benefits, costs, risks, and rationale, but it does not define the project's approach to risk management or change control. Those are covered in the Risk Management Strategy and Change Control Approach. The Business Case may reference risks, but it is not the vehicle for defining management approaches.
- ✓
Risk Management Strategy
Why this is correct
The Risk Management Strategy is the management product within the PID that defines the project's approach to risk management, including the risk management procedures, roles and responsibilities, risk tolerances, and the risk management process to be applied. It directly addresses the project board's request for a clear definition of risk management.
- ✗
Project Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Project Plan describes how the project will be delivered, including stage boundaries, schedule, and resource requirements, but it does not define the approach to risk management or change control. Those approaches are defined in the Risk Management Strategy and Change Control Approach. The Project Plan may incorporate risk and change considerations, but it is not the primary document for these management approaches.
- ✓
Change Control Approach
Why this is correct
The Change Control Approach is the management product within the PID that defines how changes to the project's products and baselines will be controlled, including the change control procedures, roles and responsibilities, and the change control process. It directly addresses the project board's request for a clear definition of change control.
