PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Practices Practice Question
Which level of plan in PRINCE2 is produced during the Initiating a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
The trap is confusing the plan produced during Initiating a Project (Project Plan) with the plan produced at stage boundaries (Stage Plan) or the optional Team Plan; candidates who associate 'initiation' with 'stage' will pick Stage Plan.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Plan
In PRINCE2, the Project Plan is produced during the Initiating a Project process. It provides the overall project timeline, costs, and resource requirements at the project level, and it is a key output of the Initiating a Project process along with the business case and project initiation documentation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Exception Plan
Why it's wrong here
An Exception Plan is produced during Managing a Stage Boundary when a stage or project is forecast to exceed its tolerances, replacing the current plan. It is tempting because it is a plan type, but Initiating a Project produces the Project Plan, which the Project Board approves to authorise the project.
- ✗
Team Plan
Why it's wrong here
Team Plans are produced by the Team Manager during Managing Product Delivery, covering a team's work package, not during Initiating a Project. The Project Plan is the plan created in that process. Team Plans are tempting because they are legitimate PRINCE2 plans, but they belong to the delivery layer, not initiation.
- ✗
Stage Plan
Why it's wrong here
The Stage Plan for the first delivery stage is produced during Managing a Stage Boundary, not Initiating a Project. It is tempting because initiating does establish the next stage's work, but Initiating a Project produces the Project Plan; the first Stage Plan follows at the boundary before the stage begins.
- ✓
Project Plan
Why this is correct
The Project Plan is created during Initiating a Project, establishing the project's products, timescales, costs and controls before the Project Board authorises it. Stage Plans come later, during Managing a Stage Boundary, so the Project Plan is the correct level here.
