A specific objective of the Starting Up a Project process is to ensure there is business justification for initiating the project. This is crucial because before committing resources to a project, it is essential to confirm that the project aligns with the broader business objectives and provides value. The business justification helps in validating that the project is worthwhile and capable of achieving its intended benefits. This assessment typically includes evaluating the project's feasibility, potential return on investment, and alignment with strategic goals.

Other aspects like defining success criteria, identifying stakeholders, and outlining project risks are indeed important, but they fall under different stages or processes within PRINCE2. The focus during the Starting Up a Project process is primarily on confirming that there is a valid reason to start the project, thereby ensuring that the project will contribute positively to the organization’s goals.
