PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 163

Which is a purpose of the ‘initiating a project’ process?

Answer options

• A. To ensure the project has a sound basis before asking the project board to authorize the project
• B. To authorize the stage plan for the next management stage of the project
• C. To establish a contract between the project management team and the commissioning organization
• D. To ensure that prerequisites are in place before starting the project

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The purpose of 'initiating a project' is to confirm that the project is well-founded before seeking authorization from the project board, making option A the correct choice. Options B and C refer to subsequent processes in project management, while option D relates to preparations rather than the foundational aspects of the project initiation.
