During the 'Initiating a Project' process, the project manager develops key information, including the detailed Project Initiation Documentation (PID), which enables the project board to decide whether to proceed with the project. This information outlines the approach, plans, and controls that will govern the project, providing a foundation for detailed planning and informed decision-making by the project board.References: PRINCE2® 7 Foundation materials on the 'Initiating a Project' process.

Product-based planning in PRINCE2 focuses on defining and understanding the project's outputs or products. This method helps in determining the project's approach by clarifying what products must be delivered, thus guiding the planning of activities and resources needed to create these products. It ensures that the project's structure and execution strategy are aligned with delivering tangible, well-defined outcomes.References: PRINCE2® 7 Foundation resources on product-based planning.

In PRINCE2, a Team Plan is a type of plan that might only be produced for very large or complex projects. It is typically more detailed and is specifically designed to manage a segment of the project within a certain team or group. This plan provides detailed guidance on the delivery of the products assigned to the team within the constraints set by the Stage Plan.References: (PRINCE2® 7 Foundation Handbook, AXELOS)

To understand how user assurance will support the senior user on the project, the senior user should review the 'Role Descriptions' management product. This document outlines the responsibilities and interfaces for all project roles, including how user assurance supports the senior user by ensuring that the project's products meet the needs and requirements of the users.References: PRINCE2® 7 Foundation documentation on management products, particularly Role Descriptions.
