PRINCE2F Project Initiation and Stages Practice Question
Who is responsible for creating the Project Initiation Documentation?
⚠ Common exam trap
PeopleCert often tests the distinction between 'creating' and 'approving' management products, and the trap here is that candidates confuse the Project Board's approval authority with the Project Manager's production responsibility, leading them to incorrectly select the Project Board.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Manager
The Project Manager is responsible for creating the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) because PRINCE2 assigns the Project Manager the role of assembling and producing the PID, which consolidates key planning documents like the Business Case, Project Plan, and Risk Register. The Project Board approves the PID, but does not create it, as the Project Manager acts as the single point of accountability for its preparation and quality.
