Which document is the key output of the Initiating a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Initiation Documentation
The Project Initiation Documentation (PID) is the definitive output of the Initiating a Project process. It consolidates the Project Brief, Business Case, and detailed plans into a single baseline that defines 'what, why, who, when, and how' for the project. The PID is formally approved by the Project Board at the end of initiation, authorizing the project to proceed to the next stage.
