SU is a pre-project process that decides if the project is viable

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
IP is the first process after the Project Board authorizes the project
Why it's wrong here
The first process after authorization is Controlling a Stage, not IP. IP occurs after SU.
- ✓
SU is a pre-project process that decides if the project is viable
Why this is correct
SU checks the basic conditions and decides whether to proceed to initiation.
- ✗
SU produces the Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
Why it's wrong here
The PID is produced during IP, not SU.
- ✗
IP is optional if the Project Brief is approved in SU
Why it's wrong here
IP is mandatory to establish the project on a solid foundation.
