SU creates the Project Brief; IP creates the 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.
- ✓
SU creates the Project Brief; IP creates the Project Initiation Documentation
Why this is correct
The Starting Up a Project (SU) process produces the Project Brief, which provides the outline business case and project mandate, whereas the Initiating a Project (IP) process generates the Project Initiation Documentation (PID), which contains the detailed plans, risk register, and business justification. This satisfies the stem’s requirement for a correct distinction by naming the specific deliverables each process creates.
- ✗
SU is performed by the Project Board; IP is performed by the Project Manager
Why it's wrong here
Both are performed by the PM under direction from the Board.
- ✗
SU produces the Stage Plan for the first delivery stage; IP produces the initiation stage plan
Why it's wrong here
SU produces the initiation stage plan; IP produces the first delivery stage plan.
- ✗
SU authorises the project; IP authorises the initiation stage
Why it's wrong here
The Board authorises initiation in SU; the project is authorised in DP.
