Exam PRINCE2-Foundation topic 1 question 504 discussion

the answer is A. The management product established in the starting up a project triggers the directing a project process. This management product are the project brief, the stage plan and the business case. D= project mandate triggers the starting up a project process B= Authorising a project can only be done if the management product like project brief are being established and it is this management products like project brief, stage plan and business case that will be submitted that triggers the directing a project process.

D. After the project mandate has been received Explanation: The ‘directing a project’ process in PRINCE2 is performed by the project board and begins after the project mandate has been received. The project mandate is the initial document that triggers the project and provides the authority to start the pre-project activities.

B is the correct answer The Directing a Project process in PRINCE2 starts when the project board receives a request to authorize the project, which typically happens after the Starting up a Project process has been completed and the project brief is submitted for consideration. The project board then assesses whether to approve the project and proceed to the Initiating a Project process.

B is correct; Why the other options are not correct: A. When the project manager submits the project brief for approval: The project brief is part of the PID, and its submission is part of the 'initiating a project' process, not the trigger for 'directing a project'.   C. After the project has been authorized by the business layer: The 'directing a project' process includes the authorization by the project board (which represents the business layer).   D. After the project mandate has been received: The project mandate triggers the 'starting up a project' process, not 'directing a project'.

"The PRINCE2 Directing a Project process starts when the Starting Up a Project process completes and is triggered by the request from the project manager to initiate a project."
