PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
What document is a key output of the Initiating a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2 often tests the distinction between inputs and outputs of processes; the trap here is confusing the Project Brief (an input) or the Business Case (a component) with the PID, which is the comprehensive output that bundles them together.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Initiation Documentation
The Project Initiation Documentation (PID) is the definitive output of the Initiating a Project process. It consolidates the Project Brief, Business Case, and Project Plan into a single, controlled document that defines the project's scope, objectives, and governance. PRINCE2 mandates that the PID is created and approved during this process to provide a firm foundation for the project.
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 Brief
Why it's wrong here
The Project Brief is a key output of Starting up a Project, not Initiating a Project.
- ✗
Project Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Project Plan is part of the PID but not the single key output; the PID bundles multiple management products.
- ✗
Business Case
Why it's wrong here
The Business Case is developed in Starting up a Project and refined in Initiating a Project, but the PID is the key output.
- ✓
Project Initiation Documentation
Why this is correct
The PID is the main output of Initiating a Project, containing the Business Case, Project Plan, and other baselines.
