PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Which TWO documents are produced during the Starting Up a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between outputs of Starting Up a Project versus Initiating a Project, specifically confusing the Project Brief (SU) with the Project Initiation Documentation (IP) and the Initiation Stage Plan (SU) with a Stage Plan for a subsequent stage (SB).

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Initiation Stage Plan
The Starting Up a Project (SU) process produces the Project Brief and the Initiation Stage Plan. The Project Brief provides a high-level overview of the project's justification, scope, and approach, while the Initiation Stage Plan details the activities, resources, and controls for the initiation stage. Both are mandatory outputs of SU, ensuring the project has a clear mandate and a plan for the next phase before committing to full initiation.
