PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
What is the purpose of the Starting Up 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
✓
To confirm that the project is viable and worthwhile before committing to detailed planning
SU is a pre-project process that ensures basic conditions exist before deciding to proceed with initiation. It does not formally start the project; that happens in IP.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
To manage the day-to-day activities of the project
Why it's wrong here
The Starting Up a Project process establishes whether a project is viable and worthwhile before initiation, whereas managing day-to-day activities is the function of the Controlling a Stage process. This option is tempting because it describes a core project-management activity, but it fails to address the pre-project feasibility assessment and business-case creation that the stem specifically requires.
- ✓
To confirm that the project is viable and worthwhile before committing to detailed planning
Why this is correct
SU determines whether there is a justifiable business case and sufficient information to proceed.
- ✗
To close the project in a controlled manner
Why it's wrong here
Closing is done in Closing a Project.
- ✗
To produce the Project Initiation Documentation
Why it's wrong here
PID is produced in Initiating a Project, not SU.
