    PMP · Question 31 · Task 12: Manage project artifacts

    A project manager discovers that a key project artifact (the requirements specification) has not been updated in six weeks despite multiple changes being implemented. Team members are working from different versions of the document, leading to confusion and rework. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Establish immediate version control and update the requirements specification with all recent changes

    B.

    Investigate who was responsible for maintaining the requirements specification

    C.

    Schedule a meeting with all stakeholders to review the requirements

    D.

    Implement a new artifact management process to prevent future issues

    When project artifacts are causing active confusion and rework, immediate correction and control must come before investigation or process improvement.
