Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
It is performed by the Project Board
Why this is correct
DP is the Project Board's process.
- ✗
It includes producing Highlight Reports
Why it's wrong here
Highlight Reports are produced by the PM, not the Project Board.
- ✗
It includes the day-to-day management of the project
Why it's wrong here
Day-to-day management is done by the PM in Controlling a Stage.
- ✓
It includes authorizing the initiation of the project
Why this is correct
Authorising initiation is a specific activity within the Directing a Project process, defined in the PRINCE2 manual as the point where the project board gives permission for the initiation stage to begin. This satisfies the stem’s constraint that the process covers decisions at key management stages, not just closure or daily work.
- ✗
It is performed only at the start and end of the project
Why it's wrong here
DP runs throughout the project, not just at start and end.
