PRINCE2F Business Case and Organizing Practice Question
Which TWO documents are part of the Project Initiation Documentation?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between management products (like the Risk Register and Quality Register) and the core components of the PID, leading candidates to mistakenly include all registers as part of the initiation documentation.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Business Case
The Business Case is a core component of the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) because it provides the justification for the project, detailing the costs, benefits, and risks. The Project Plan is also part of the PID as it defines the project's scope, schedule, and resource requirements, forming the baseline for execution and control.

Business Case
Why this is correct
The Business Case is part of the Project Initiation Documentation because it provides the justification for undertaking the project, satisfying the PRINCE2 principle of continued business justification. It documents the reasons, options, expected benefits, costs, and risks, forming the basis for the project board’s decision to authorise initiation. Without this, the PID lacks the mandatory business rationale required by the PRINCE2 methodology.

Quality Register
Why it's wrong here
Quality Register is a separate document.

Project Plan
Why this is correct
The Project Plan is part of the PID.
- ✗
Risk Register
Why it's wrong here
Risk Register is a separate document, though often referenced.
