PRINCE2 Foundation — Question 283

Which are purposes of the “initiating a project” process?

1 To enable the project board to decide whether it is worthwhile to initiate a project
2. To establish solid foundations for a project
3. To enable a project board decision about the commitment of resources to a project
4. To appoint the project management team

Answer options

• A. 1 and 2
• B. 2 and 3
• C. 3 and 4
• D. 1 and 4

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because establishing solid foundations for a project (2) and enabling a decision on resource commitment (3) are both key aspects of initiating a project. Options A and D include objectives that are not primarily focused on foundational aspects, while option C includes appointing the project management team, which is not a direct purpose of the initiation process.
