PRINCE2F Business Case and Organizing Practice Question
Which TWO documents are created during the Starting up a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between documents created in the pre-project phase (SU) versus the initiation phase, so candidates mistakenly select the Project Plan (A) because they confuse it with the Project Brief, or the Risk Register (E) because they think risk identification starts immediately in SU.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Business Case
The Starting up a Project (SU) process in PRINCE2 is the pre-project phase where the project is evaluated before any detailed planning begins. During SU, the Project Brief is created to outline the project's scope, objectives, and approach, and the Business Case is developed at a high level to justify the project's viability. Both documents are essential for the Project Board to decide whether to proceed to the Initiation Stage.
