PRINCE2F Project Initiation and Stages Practice Question
The project board asks the project manager to produce a detailed plan for the next stage. Which plan should be produced?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between the Project Plan (high-level, whole project) and the Stage Plan (detailed, next stage), trapping candidates who confuse the scope and purpose of these two plans.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Stage Plan
In PRINCE2, the Project Board requests a detailed plan for the next stage, which is the Stage Plan. The Stage Plan is produced at the end of the current stage (or during Initiation for the first stage) and provides the detailed management and technical steps for the upcoming stage, aligning with the 'Managing a Stage Boundary' process. This plan is essential for the Project Board to approve the continuation of the project into the next stage.
