A. Feedback
B. Financial summary
C. Project schedule
D. Organizational chart
E. Approval

Question 125
Which of the following is the main reason for documenting artifacts?

Show Answer

While documentation can support stakeholders or team awareness, those are secondary benefits rather than the main reason.

A. Consult with the legal department.
B. Update the issue log.

After logging the issue, the PM can then engage legal, initiate a new RFP, and analyze schedule impacts.
