Question 1,632 of 1,599
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.
