In project management, artefacts are any papers, products, or other things that are made or used during the project, whether they are physical or not. In project management, some examples of artefacts are:
A project plan is a paper that lays out the project’s goals, boundaries, and who is involved.
A project plan is a thorough picture of the project that includes dates, jobs, tools, and how they all fit together.
Status reports are regular notes on how the project is going, including completed goals, risks, problems, and what the next steps are.
Change requests are requests to change the project’s scope, timetable, or money.
Requirements papers are written descriptions of the project’s functional and non-functional needs.
Design papers are records that describe the project’s design, parts, and connections.
Test plans are ways to test a project to make sure it meets the standards.
User guides are written instructions on how to use a project or product.
In project management, to log and register artifacts, you would make a record of each one, give it a unique number, and store it in a safe, easily available place. You would also make regular changes to the log and register to show any changes to the artefacts or their state. This helps make sure that all artefacts are properly recorded, tracked, and handled throughout the project lifetime.
