Notice: applying this to your agency
The IT Project Resources are not meant to replace your agency’s internal project management practices or prescribe how you must operate. Instead, they offer concepts and tools that can strengthen delivery by providing a scalable framework for project level coordination. All project documentation should be maintained throughout each stage in alignment with agency policies and, where applicable, WaTech requirements and oversight expectations.
Effective documentation ensures transparency, auditability, and continuity throughout the project lifecycle. All project artifacts should be maintained for the life of the project.
Core practices
- Maintain up‑to‑date baselines (scope, schedule, cost, quality).
- Track risks, issues, decisions, and changes using standardized logs.
- Archive communications, meeting notes, and approvals for auditability.
- Store all artifacts in the designated document repository with version control. Be mindful about where your draft work is kept and your final auditable version.
- Use agency PMO‑approved templates for consistency and compliance.
