artifact

Any document, record, or tangible item produced within a portfolio, program, or project that supports managing the work and communicates information to the team, stakeholders, and leadership.

Key Points

  • Exists at portfolio, program, and project levels across the entire life cycle.
  • Typical examples include charters, roadmaps, product backlogs, risk registers, reports, and dashboards.
  • Purpose is to enable decision making, track progress, and share information transparently.
  • Should have clear ownership, version control, and access management to remain accurate and useful.

Example

In an agile project, the team updates a sprint burndown chart each day. This artifact shows remaining work versus time, helping the team adjust their plan and giving stakeholders a clear view of progress.

PMP Example Question

  2. A document or tangible item produced to support management and information sharing
  3. A change request approved by the change control board
  4. A role responsible for coordinating team activities

Explanation: An artifact is a created item (e.g., plan, log, report) used to manage the work and communicate with stakeholders; it is not a meeting, role, or specific approval.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
