Question 1

A20 Project Initiation Documentation (PID)

Answer 1

The purpose of the Project Initiation Documentation is to define the project, in order to form the basis for its management and an assessment of its overall success.

The Project Initiation Documentation gives the direction and scope of the project and (along with the Stage Plan) forms the ‘contract’ between the Project Manager and the Project Board.
