PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which document is created during the Initiating a Project process and provides a baseline against which the project is managed?
⚠ Common exam trap
It's easy for candidates to confuse the Project Brief (created earlier) with the PID, or mistake a single component like the Business Case or Project Plan as the complete baseline, when the PID is the integrated set of documents that collectively form the management baseline.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
The Project Initiation Documentation (PID) is the key document created during the Initiating a Project process. It provides a comprehensive baseline that defines the project's scope, objectives, approach, and controls, against which the project's progress and performance are managed throughout its lifecycle.

Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
Why this is correct

Project Brief
Why it's wrong here
The Project Brief is created in Starting up a Project, not during initiation.

Project Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Project Plan is a component of the PID, but the PID as a whole is the baseline document.
