Artifacts are documents related to the project. Project Managers must fully document objectives and deliverables. These documents align projects to business objectives, address the needs of sponsors and clients, and properly set the project team's expectations.

Examples of artifacts include: Project Charter, Business Case, Requirements, and customer/stakeholder analysis.

Artifacts are typically living documents and formally updated to reflect changes in scope. They exist so that everyone involved in the project has a shared understanding of all information related to the effort.

ADVERTISEMENTS

"It is an important and popular fact that things are not always what they seem. For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much -- the wheel, New York, wars and so on -- whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons."

- Douglas Adams
