    PMP · Question 63 · Task 12: Manage project artifacts

    A project manager discovers that important project documents are stored in multiple locations with inconsistent version control. Team members have been working with outdated requirements documents, and there have been several instances of decisions being made based on superseded information. This is causing rework and confusion. What should the project manager do FIRST?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Implement a centralized document management system immediately

    B.

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

    C.

    Assign a team member to consolidate all documents and maintain version control going forward

    D.

    Send a communication to all team members about the importance of using current document versions

    How to approach this question

    When artifact management issues cause project problems, assess current practices and needs to develop systematic solutions rather than implementing quick fixes.

    Full Answer

    B.Assess current document management practices and stakeholder needs to develop a comprehensive artifact management solution✓ Correct
    B
    Effective artifact management requires understanding current practices, identifying root causes of problems, and understanding stakeholder needs before implementing management solutions.

    Common mistakes

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