PRINCE2F Business Case and Organizing Practice Question
Which document defines the project's organization structure and roles?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between the Project Plan (which focuses on schedule and resources) and the Project Initiation Documentation (which is the comprehensive document that includes the organization structure and roles), leading candidates to mistakenly select the Project Plan.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Initiation Documentation
The Project Initiation Documentation (PID) is the definitive document that defines the project's organization structure and roles, including the project management team structure, role descriptions, and responsibilities. It is created during the Initiating a Project process and provides a baseline for how the project will be managed and controlled.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Risk Register
Why it's wrong here
The Risk Register records identified threats, their probability, impact, proximity and assigned responses. It would be correct for tracking and owning risks throughout the project, but it says nothing about who fills which project roles or how the team is structured.
- ✓
Project Initiation Documentation
Why this is correct
The Project Initiation Documentation contains the project's organization structure and role descriptions, satisfying the requirement to define who fills each PRINCE2 role. It is baselined at initiation and provides the single source of truth for accountability across the project board and team.
- ✗
Project Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Project Plan covers scope, schedule, cost and product delivery, not the roles and reporting lines of the people involved. It would be correct for defining what the project produces and when, whereas organisation structure and responsibilities sit in the Project Initiation Documentation's organisation section.
- ✗
Business Case
Why it's wrong here
The Business Case justifies the investment by comparing costs, benefits, risks and timescales; it does not assign people to roles. It would be correct when justifying continued viability at a stage boundary, but the organisation structure and role definitions belong in the Project Initiation Documentation.
