In a five-year infrastructure project, the project manager is tasked with setting up efficient management of project artifacts to ensure timely and easy access for all stakeholders. What is the most critical first step the project manager should undertake to guarantee effective management of these artifacts?
Determine who will have access to manage and update the artifacts, ensuring control and responsibility from an early stage.
Decide when to distribute regular project status reports to stakeholders to ensure constant communication.
Identify what needs to be documented, including types of documents and data, which will serve as a basis for further artifact management decisions.
Establish why each type of artifact is necessary to support project goals and stakeholder requirements.
Identifying what needs to be documented involves understanding and determining the specific types of artifacts required to manage the project effectively. It's essential as it informs the subsequent decisions on when, where, and who will manage these artifacts. Without determining what needs to be documented first, the manager cannot effectively plan other aspects such as storage locations or access permissions. Specifying why certain artifacts are needed can be inferred from this first step but is not the foundational action itself. On the other hand, deciding when to distribute reports is a related task that depends on what documentation exists and is more about communication rather than initial documentation requirement setup.
