PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Which document is the key output of the Initiating a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between the Project Brief (an input from Starting Up a Project) and the Project Initiation Documentation (the key output of Initiating a Project), so candidates mistakenly select the Project Brief thinking it is the main deliverable of the initiation phase.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
The Initiating a Project process is where the project's baselines are established, and its key output is the Project Initiation Documentation (PID). The PID consolidates all essential information—such as the Business Case, project plan, risk register, and project controls—into a single, approved document that defines what the project will deliver and how it will be managed. This document is the foundation for decision-making and is used throughout the project.
