First Task of PRINCE2's Approach to Defining and Analyzing Products

A.

PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) is a structured project management methodology widely used in the UK and internationally. It provides a clear and consistent approach to managing projects, including a recommended approach to defining and analyzing the products.

According to the PRINCE2 methodology, the first task of defining and analyzing the products is to write the project product description. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

The project product description is a detailed description of the product or deliverable that the project will create. It is used to define the scope of the project and to ensure that all stakeholders have a clear understanding of what the project will deliver.

The project product description should include the following information:

1. Purpose: The reason why the product is being created.
2. Composition: The components of the product or deliverable.
3. Derivation: The source of the product or deliverable.
4. Format: The format of the product or deliverable.
5. Quality Criteria: The quality criteria for the product or deliverable.
6. Quality Tolerance: The acceptable level of variation from the quality criteria.
7. Acceptance Criteria: The criteria that will be used to determine whether the product or deliverable is acceptable.
8. Approval Requirements: The approval requirements for the product or deliverable.
9. Customer Quality Expectations: The customer's quality expectations for the product or deliverable.
10. Customer Acceptance Criteria: The criteria that the customer will use to determine whether the product or deliverable is acceptable.

Once the project product description is written, it can be used to create other product-related documents, such as the product flow diagram, which shows how the product will be created and delivered, and the product description, which provides a more detailed description of the product or deliverable.

In summary, the correct answer to the question is C: Writing a project product description.
