PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question

Which TWO of the following are outputs of the Initiating a Project process?

⚠ Common exam trap

Many candidates confuse the inputs and outputs of the Initiating a Project process with those of the Starting Up a Project process, particularly the Project Brief (an input) and the Executive appointment (an output of Starting Up a Project).

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Risk Management Approach

The Initiating a Project process produces the Project Plan (Option E) and the Risk Management Approach (Option D). The Project Plan defines the baseline for scope, schedule, and cost, while the Risk Management Approach establishes the procedures for identifying, assessing, and controlling risks throughout the project. Both are formal management products created during initiation to guide project execution.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • End Stage Report

    Why it's wrong here

    The End Stage Report is produced at the end of each management stage to summarise stage performance and request authorisation for the next stage, not during the Initiating a Project process. It is tempting because it is a key project board report, but the correct outputs for initiation are the Project Initiation Documentation and the Benefits Management Approach.

  • Project Brief

    Why it's wrong here

    The Project Brief is an input to Initiating a Project, not an output; the process produces the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) and the Benefits Management Approach. It is tempting because the Project Brief is created during Starting Up a Project and contains the outline business case and project definition, so it might be mistaken for a deliverable of the subsequent initiation stage.

  • Executive appointment

    Why it's wrong here

    The Executive is appointed in Starting Up a Project.

  • Risk Management Approach

    Why this is correct

    The Risk Management Approach is part of the management strategies created in IP.

  • Project Plan

    Why this is correct

    The Project Plan is created during IP.
