A. B. C. D.B.
During the Starting up a Project (SU) process in PRINCE2, several project management documents and strategies are created to ensure the project is set up correctly from the outset. These documents and strategies serve as a foundation for the project and are used throughout the project's lifecycle to ensure that it stays on track and achieves its objectives.
Of the options provided, the document that is created during the SU process is the Project Mandate, so the correct answer is A.
The Project Mandate is a high-level document that outlines the reason for the project and what it aims to achieve. It is usually created by someone external to the project, such as a senior manager or executive, and provides the project manager with the authority to initiate the project. The Project Mandate should contain the following information:
Background: This section provides the context for the project, explaining why it is necessary and what problem it is intended to solve.
Objectives: This section outlines the specific goals and objectives of the project, including what benefits it is intended to deliver.
Scope: This section defines the boundaries of the project and what is included and excluded.
Expected Benefits: This section outlines the expected benefits and how they will be measured.
Timeframe: This section provides a rough timeline for the project, including any key milestones.
Budget: This section outlines the budget for the project and any financial constraints.
Risks: This section outlines the risks associated with the project and how they will be managed.
Stakeholders: This section identifies the stakeholders involved in the project and their roles and responsibilities.
By creating a Project Mandate during the SU process, the project team can ensure that everyone involved in the project has a clear understanding of what the project is trying to achieve and what is required to make it successful. The Project Mandate serves as the basis for developing the Business Case and other key project management documents that are created during the Initiation stage.
