Project Initiation Documentation

Here you can find a simple Project Initiation Documentation template in Microsoft Word/Excel format, along with explanation on how to use it.

Background

When we’re done with starting up the project, we will initiate it, i.e. set strategies and create the high-level plan (Project Plan), which in turn, makes it possible for us to replace the Outline Business Case with a real Business Case.

When we approach the end of the initiation stage, we will package everything, and this package is what we call Project Initiation Documentation. So, as you see in the template, most of the content is just references to external documents.

Composition

The template has these main sections:


eLearning Courses

If you’d like to learn everything about PRINCE2, I can suggest our eLearning courses:

The first few lessons in each course are free. You can start taking the courses right now and make sure it’s what you’ve been looking for before you buy.

Note: The first 30% of the courses used to be free, but because of the recent constraints from PeopleCert, we’re not allowed to offer more than 15% of the scope or more than 90 minutes of the duration for free.
