Assign a dedicated document controller to manage all artifacts.

Conduct a survey to understand how team members currently access and use artifacts.

What does 'documenting' a project artifact primarily involve?

Creating a marketing brochure about the project

Deleting old versions to save space

Storing the artifact in a locked cabinet

Recording the artifact's content, version, and approval status

A project manager is evaluating the progress of a marketing campaign project. The project plan calls for 40% of the campaign activities to be completed by the end of the month.

What should the project manager conclude about the project's progress?

The project's progress cannot be determined without more data.

The project is behind schedule but may be over budget, as indicated by the higher budget consumption.

The project is on schedule because the team has spent 50% of the budget.

The project is ahead of schedule because the team has spent more than planned.
