Question 1,180 of 1,731
Initiating a Project Outputs
This PRINCE2F practice question tests your understanding of prince2 processes. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO of the following are produced during the Initiating a Project process?
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
✓
Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
The Initiating a Project process produces the Project Initiation Documentation (PID), which is the comprehensive baseline for the project. The Risk Management Approach is also created during this process as part of the project's management strategies. Both are key outputs that define how the project will be managed and controlled.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
PRINCE2 Foundation often tests the distinction between outputs of Starting Up a Project (e.g., Project Brief) and Initiating a Project (e.g., PID), so candidates mistakenly select the Project Brief as a product of the Initiating a Project process.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The PID is the living document that consolidates all key planning information, including the Business Case, project scope, and management strategies. The Risk Management Approach defines the procedures for risk identification, assessment, and response, and is a mandatory component of the PID. Both outputs are formally approved by the Project Board at the end of the Initiating a Project process to authorize the project to proceed.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A practitioner preparing for the PRINCE2F exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.

Same concept, more angles
3 more ways this is tested on PRINCE2F
These questions test the same concept from different angles. Work through them to make sure you can recognise it however the exam phrases it.
Variation 1. A project is in the Initiating a Project process. Which of the following is produced during this process?
medium- ✓ A.Benefits Management Approach
- B.Project Brief
- C.End Stage Report
- D.Exception Report

medium- ✓ A.Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
- ✓ B.Benefits Management Approach
- C.Project Brief
- D.Work Package
- E.End Stage Report
