2. Which process addresses how the quality required will be achieved?

14. The sub-process Assembling a Project Initiation Document (IP6) only has input from other Initiating a Project (IP) sub-processes.
Appointing a Project Management Team (SU3), Preparing a Project Brief (SU4) and Defining Project Approach (SU5) all provide input into the creation of the Project Initiation Document. The information needs that go into the assembling of the Project Initiation Document is found on page 67 of the PRINCE2 Manual.
