A. B. C. D.A.
The Starting up a Project (SU) process is the first process in the PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) project management framework. Its primary objective is to ensure that there is a sound basis for the initiation of the project and that the necessary groundwork is laid before the project is authorized to proceed.
Out of the options given, option C is the correct answer as it aligns with the primary objective of the SU process. The SU process aims to provide authorization to proceed to the Initiation stage, which involves assigning the Project Manager and creating the Project Brief, which outlines the initial scope, objectives, and business justification for the project.
Option A, identifying who will be responsible for creating the Project Plan, is a responsibility that is typically assigned during the Initiation stage of the project. The Project Plan is developed by the Project Manager in consultation with the project team, stakeholders, and other relevant parties.
Option B, agreeing on how the project will be monitored and controlled after initiation, is also a responsibility that is typically assigned during the Initiation stage. The Project Manager and project team work together to create a detailed Project Plan that includes a plan for how the project will be monitored and controlled throughout its lifecycle.
Option D, agreeing on how issues and changes will be identified, assessed, and controlled, is a responsibility that is typically assigned during the Initiation stage as well. The Project Manager and project team work together to create a detailed Change Control procedure that outlines how issues and changes will be identified, assessed, and controlled throughout the project's lifecycle.
In summary, while all the options presented in the question may be addressed during the project's lifecycle, the primary objective of the Starting up a Project process is to authorize the initiation of the project and lay the groundwork for its successful delivery.
