A project manager at a company is considering a high-performing junior member of the organization to be the new project manager for a current project. What should the project manager do to prepare for a recommendation to senior management?
A.
Compile key highlights featuring the team member from the meeting minutes.
B.
Ask the team member to write a short biography listing their qualifications
C.
Gather project artifacts that demonstrate the team member's high performance
D.
Calculate the health of the projects on which the team member has worked
The correct answer is C. According to the PMBOK® Guide, project artifacts are any documents or deliverables that are produced as part of the project management processes1. These artifacts can include project plans, reports, baselines, metrics, lessons learned, and other outputs that show the performance and progress of the project and the project team. The project manager should gather these artifacts to provide evidence of the team member’s high performance and contribution to the project success. This will help the project manager to make a strong case for the team member’s promotion to senior management. Compiling key highlights from meeting minutes, asking the team member to write a biography, or calculating the health of the projects are not sufficient or relevant to demonstrate the team member’s skills and competencies as a potential project manager.
