Where does Directing a Project start?

On the Prince2.com forum there was a question from Matt who was preparing himself for the Prince2 foundation exam with sample questions:

Hi
I am currently revising for the Foundation paper (self-study) and require clarification regarding a sample question in the ‘Passing the PRINCE2 Examinations’ manual - Question 57 ,The process Directing a Project’ begins when? According to the manual the correct answer is B, ‘After the start-up of the project’ and refers to page 69 of the main text book however this page states that DP runs from Starting up a Project (SU) which is answer A.

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks

Hi Matt,
Directing a project obviously begins right at the start of a project. So at the SU processes. Check the text in the manual at page 72 where the description for initiation is given.

Good luck,

Rene
