The Project Initiation Documentation
The Project Initiation Documentation (PID) is the key output of the Initiating a Project process. It provides a basis for the Project Board to decide whether to proceed. Options A, C, and D are outputs of other processes: the Project Plan is an output of the Planning process, the Risk Register is an output of the Identifying Risks and Issues process, and the Business Case is an output of the Starting Up a Project process.
