    The document discusses the Project Initiation Documentation (PID) which provides necessary information for the Project Board to decide whether to proceed with a project. The PID becomes a common understanding of the project and provides details on what, why, who, how, when and costs.

    3.8 IP: Project Initiation Documentation (PID)


    3.8.1 Project Initiation Documentation
    The Project Initiation Documentation becomes a common understanding for all points related to the
    project. It provides a solid base for the project, makes all parties clear about what the project is
    intended to achieve and the responsibilities. So this provides the what, why, who, how, when and
    cost of the project
    The documentation provides the necessary information for the Project Board to decide to continue
    with the project. If the project proceeds, then the Project Initiation Documentation will be baselined,
    meaning it will be dated (time-stamped) so that it can be used in the future to check project
    performance compared to the original forecasts.
    The last task done by the Project Manager in the Initiation Stage is to request to Deliver a Project;
    this request is sent to the Project Board.

    3.8.2 Project Initiation Documentation Contents


    The Project Initiation Documentation is a collection of most of the documents produced so far in
    both the SU and IP processes.

    First of all, we have the project approach and project definition, which contains a lot of
    information about the project and is extracted from the Project Brief.
    The Project Management Team Structure, which includes the Roles Descriptions.
    The Business Case, which includes time and cost information from the project plan.
    The four management strategy documents, which are Quality, Configuration
    Management, Risk and Communications.
    The Project Plan, which contains information on timescale, cost, resource requirements,
    products that will be produced, risks, tolerances, controls and quality.
    The Project Controls document, which describes how the project will be monitored and
    controlled, tolerances between the different management levels, and the number of
    stages.
    How PRINCE2 was tailored to suit the project.
