PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Which TWO of the following are produced in the Starting Up a Project process?
⚠ Common exam trap
PRINCE2 Foundation often tests the distinction between the Starting Up a Project and Initiating a Project processes, and the trap here is confusing the Project Brief (produced in SU) with the Project Initiation Documentation (produced in IP), or assuming that the Benefits Management Approach is created earlier than it actually is.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Initiation Stage Plan
The Starting Up a Project process is the first process in PRINCE2, executed before the project is formally initiated. Its purpose is to ensure that the project has a viable and worthwhile business case, and that the necessary authorities and resources are in place. The Initiation Stage Plan is produced to plan the work required for the Initiation Stage, and the Project Brief is produced to provide a firm foundation for the initiation of the project, containing the outline Business Case, project scope, and key risks.
