PRINCE2F PRINCE2 Processes Practice Question
Which TWO outputs are produced during the Initiating a Project process?
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
✓
Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
The Project Initiation Documentation (PID) (option A) is the primary output of the Initiating a Project process, as it consolidates the business case, project plan, risk, quality, change, and communication approaches into a single baseline document. The Benefits Management Approach (option B) is also produced during Initiating a Project, defining how and when the project's benefits will be measured, reviewed, and realized. The Project Brief (option C) is created earlier in the Starting up a Project process, not during Initiating a Project. A Work Package (option D) is produced during Controlling a Stage when work is authorized to a team, and an End Stage Report (option E) is produced during Managing a Stage Boundary, so neither belongs to Initiating a Project.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Project Initiation Documentation (PID)
Why this is correct
The Project Initiation Documentation (PID) is assembled during Initiating a Project, consolidating the business case, project plan, risk and quality approaches into a single baseline. This satisfies the stem's requirement for an output produced by that process, since the PID is formally created and approved before the project board authorises the project to proceed.
- ✓
Benefits Management Approach
Why this is correct
The Benefits Management Approach is produced during Initiating a Project, documenting how the project's benefits will be measured, managed and reviewed after delivery. It satisfies the process's requirement to define benefit realisation responsibilities before the project proceeds into subsequent stages.
- ✗
Project Brief
Why it's wrong here
The Project Brief is an input to Initiating a Project, created during Starting up a Project; it feeds the PID rather than being produced by initiation. It is tempting because it defines the project's early scope, but it would be the correct output of the preceding pre-project process.
- ✗
Work Package
Why it's wrong here
A Work Package is produced during Controlling a Stage and Managing Product Delivery, not Initiating a Project, which outputs the Project Initiation Documentation. It tempts because work packages are genuine PRINCE2 outputs, and would be correct when authorising and tracking stage-level work.
- ✗
End Stage Report
Why it's wrong here
An End Stage Report is produced during Managing a Stage Boundary, reviewing a stage's performance before the next one begins. It is tempting because it sounds like an initiation artefact, but it would be the correct output at the end of a delivery stage, not while authorising the project.
