    PMP · Question 28 · Task 12: Manage project artifacts

    A project manager discovers that project artifacts are being stored in multiple locations: technical documents in the engineering shared drive, project plans in the PMO system, and meeting notes in individual team member folders. Team members are having difficulty finding current versions of documents, and there have been instances of people working with outdated information. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Mandate that all project artifacts must be stored in the PMO system going forward

    B.

    Assess the current artifact management practices and stakeholder needs to develop a comprehensive solution

    C.

    Implement a new document management system that consolidates all project artifacts

    D.

    Assign a team member to regularly update and organize all project artifacts

    How to approach this question

    When artifact management issues arise, assess current practices and stakeholder needs before implementing solutions to ensure they address root causes.

    Full Answer

    B.Assess the current artifact management practices and stakeholder needs to develop a comprehensive solution✓ Correct
    Effective artifact management requires understanding current practices, stakeholder needs, and root causes of problems before implementing solutions. This ensures solutions are appropriate and sustainable.

    Common mistakes

    Students often choose immediate system solutions (A or C) or administrative fixes (D), missing the need for systematic assessment to understand requirements and root causes.
