Stage Plan
Why it's wrong here
Stage Plans are created during Managing a Stage Boundary.
- ✗
Business Case
Why it's wrong here
The Business Case is developed during Starting up a Project and updated throughout.
- ✓
Project Initiation Documentation
Why this is correct
The Initiating a Project process produces the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) as its mandated output, satisfying the question’s requirement for the key deliverable that formally defines the project’s scope, business justification, and management controls before proceeding. The PID consolidates the Project Brief, Business Case, and detailed plans into a single baseline, which the process explicitly requires to obtain authorisation from the Project Board.
- ✗
Project Brief
Why it's wrong here
The Project Brief is an input, created during Starting up a Project.
