    PRINCE2 Exam Prep 46, Management Products — Baselines, Records, Reports
    Jun 16 2026
    This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Management Products in PRINCE2 are divided into three types: Baselines, Records, and Reports. - Baseline products, like the Project Initiation Documentation (PID), are formally approved, version-controlled, and require a formal change process to be modified. - Records are dynamic, living documents that are updated continuously, such as the Daily Log for informal notes and Registers for tracking specific items like risks and issues. - Reports are point-in-time snapshots of project status, such as the time-driven Highlight Report or the event-driven End Stage Report. - A common exam trap is confusing report triggers; an Exception Report is only created when a stage is forecast to exceed its tolerances, not for every major issue.

    PRINCE2 Exam Prep 45, Process Model — How Processes Connect
    Jun 15 2026
    This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - Starting Up a Project (SU) is a pre-project process that produces the Project Brief, which triggers Directing a Project (DP). - The Project Board uses Directing a Project (DP) to authorize the initiation stage, which formally triggers the Initiating a Project (IP) process. - The key output of Initiating a Project (IP) is the Project Initiation Documentation (PID), which the board reviews to authorize the project itself. - During delivery stages, the Project Manager's Controlling a Stage (CS) process runs in parallel with the Team Manager's Managing Product Delivery (MP) process. - At the end of each stage, the Project Manager uses Managing a Stage Boundary (SB) to prepare reports and plans for the Project Board to authorize the next stage.
