PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are outputs of the Starting Up a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
In PRINCE2 exams, candidates often confuse the outputs of Starting Up a Project (SU) with those of Initiating a Project (IP). The Project Brief is an output of SU, while the Project Initiation Documentation is an output of IP. The Benefits Management Approach is developed later in the process, not during SU.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Initiation Stage Plan
The Starting Up a Project process is the first process in PRINCE2, occurring before the project is formally initiated. Its purpose is to ensure that the project has a viable and worthwhile business justification, and that the necessary authorities exist to proceed. The Initiation Stage Plan is a key output because it plans the work required for the Initiation Stage, which is the next step after Starting Up a Project. The Project Brief is also a core output, as it provides a high-level overview of the project's scope, objectives, and approach, which is used to justify proceeding to initiation.
