PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question

What is the difference between Starting Up a Project and Initiating a Project?

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

SU produces the Project Brief; IP produces the PID

SU is a pre-project process to check viability; IP is the full initiation to establish the project on a solid foundation, creating 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.

  • SU appoints the Project Manager; IP appoints the Executive

    Why it's wrong here

    The Executive is appointed during SU, not IP.

  • SU produces the Project Brief; IP produces the PID

    Why this is correct

    Correct: SU creates the Project Brief; IP creates the PID.

  • SU plans the entire project; IP plans only the first stage

    Why it's wrong here

    SU produces an initiation stage plan; IP produces a project plan and the next stage plan.

  • SU is mandatory; IP is optional

    Why it's wrong here

    Both processes are mandatory.
