PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Which document is the key output of the Initiating a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often confuse the Project Brief (created earlier) with the PID, or think that the End Project Report is a key output of initiation because it summarizes the project, but PRINCE2 specifically tests the sequence of processes and their distinct outputs.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Initiation Documentation
The Initiating a Project process is where the project's baselines are established, and the key output is the Project Initiation Documentation (PID). The PID consolidates all the information needed to justify the project, define its scope, and provide a basis for decision-making. It is the definitive document that is approved by the project board to authorize the project to proceed.
