Risk Report

A project document developed progressively throughout the Project Risk Management processes, which summarizes information on individual project risks and the level of overall project risk.

Stakeholder Register

A project document including the identification, assessment, and classification of project stakeholders.

quality report

A project document that includes quality management issues, recommendations for corrective actions, and a summary of findings from quality control activities and may include recommendations for process, project, and product improvements.

Assumptions Log

A project document used to record all assumptions and constraints throughout the project life cycle.

Lessons Learned Register

Issue Log

A project document where information about issues is recorded and monitored.

Risk Register

A repository in which outputs of risk management processes are recorded.

Project Schedule

An output of a schedule model that presents linked activities with planned dates, durations, milestones, and resources.

Project Team Assignments

Documentation of team assignments records the team members and their roles and responsibilities for the project. Documentation can include a project team directory and names inserted into the project management plan, such as the project organization charts and schedules.

Cost forecasts

Either a calculated EAC value or a bottom-up EAC value is documented and communicated to stakeholders

Schedule Forecasts

Estimates or predictions of conditions and events in the project's future based on information and knowledge available at the time the schedule is calculated.

Milestone List

Identifies all milestones and indicates whether the milestone is mandatory, such as those required by contract, or optional, such as those based upon historical information.

Performance Measurement Baseline

Integrated scope, schedule, and cost baselines used for comparison to manage, measure, and control project execution.

Activity Attributes

Multiple attributes associated with each schedule activity that can be included within the activity list. Activity attributes include activity codes, predecessor activities, successor activities, logical relationships, leads and lags, resource requirements, imposed dates, constraints, and assumptions.

Project Communications

Project communication artifacts may include but are not limited to: performance reports; deliverable status, schedule progress, cost incurred, presentations, and other information required by stakeholders

Basis of Estimates

Supporting documentation outlining the details used in establishing project estimates such as assumptions, constraints, level of detail, ranges, and confidence levels.

Schedule Baseline

The approved version of a schedule model that can be changed only through formal change control procedures and is used as a basis for comparison to actual results.

Scope Baseline

The approved version of a scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), and its associated WBS dictionary, that can be changed only through formal change control procedures and is used as a basis for comparison to actual results.

Cost Baseline

The approved version of the time-phased project budget, excluding any management reserves, which can be changed only through formal change control procedures and is used as a basis for comparison to actual results.

Schedule Data

The collection of information for describing and controlling the schedule.

Project Scope Statement

The description of the project scope, major deliverables, assumptions, and constraints.

Quality Control measurements

The documented results of control quality activities.

Development Approach

The method used to create and evolve the product, service, or result during the project life cycle, such as predictive, iterative, incremental, agile, or a hybrid method.

Project Life Cycle description

The project life cycle determines the series of phases that a project passes through from its inception to the end of the project

Duration estimates

The quantitative assessments of the likely number of time periods that are required to complete an activity, a phase, or a project.

Resource requirements

The types and quantities of resources required for each activity in a work package.

Cost Estimates

quantitative assessments of the probable cost required to complete project work, as well as contingency amounts to account for identified risks, and management reserve to cover unplanned work.

Requirements Documentation

A description of how individual requirements meet the business need for the project.

Configuration Management Plan

A component of the project management plan that describes how to identify and account for project artifacts under configuration control, and how to record and report changes to them.
