PRINCE2F Project Initiation and Stages Practice Question
During the Initiation Stage, the project manager is assembling the Project Initiation Documentation (PID). The project board has requested that the PID include the Business Case, the Project Plan, and the Benefits Review Plan. Which TWO additional components are also part of the PID? (Choose two.)
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap here is assuming that any document created during the Initiation Stage, such as the Lessons Log or Stage Plan, is automatically part of the PID, when only specific components are included.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Risk Management Strategy
The PID is a collection of information that includes the Business Case, Project Plan, Benefits Review Plan, Project Product Description, Risk Management Strategy, Quality Management Strategy, Communication Management Strategy, Configuration Management Strategy, and project controls. The Project Product Description and Risk Management Strategy are both part of the PID. The Stage Plan, End Project Report, and Lessons Log are not included in the PID.
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 for the Initiation Stage
Why it's wrong here
The Stage Plan for the Initiation Stage is not part of the PID. It is a plan for managing the Initiation Stage itself and is used by the project manager to control that stage. The PID includes the Project Plan, which covers the entire project, not the Stage Plan for a specific stage. Therefore, it is not a component of the PID.
- ✗
Lessons Log
Why it's wrong here
The Lessons Log is a management product used to capture lessons learned throughout the project. While it is used during the Initiation Stage, it is not a component of the PID. The PID includes the strategies, plans, and descriptions that form the baseline for the project. The Lessons Log is a separate document that is updated as lessons are identified. Therefore, it is not part of the PID.
- ✓
Risk Management Strategy
Why this is correct
The Risk Management Strategy is a component of the PID. It describes how risk will be managed throughout the project, including the risk management approach, roles and responsibilities, and risk tolerances. It is created during the Initiation Stage and is part of the PID. Therefore, it is one of the correct components to include.
- ✓
Project Product Description
Why this is correct
The Project Product Description is a component of the PID. It defines the project's final product, including its purpose, composition, quality criteria, and acceptance criteria. It is essential for ensuring a common understanding of what the project will deliver and is used to develop the Project Plan. Therefore, it is one of the correct components to include in the PID.
- ✗
End Project Report
Why it's wrong here
The End Project Report is produced at the end of the project during the Closing a Project process. It is not created during the Initiation Stage and is not part of the PID. The PID is a baseline for the project and does not include post-project reports. Therefore, it is not a component of the PID.
