Checklist: Back up Artifact

Why do we need artifacts?

• Track the project’s progress against the plan, making it easier to manage and control
• Future team members can learn from past projects, understanding the decisions made, the problems faced, and how they were solved
• Smoothen the handover and onboarding process, track record, and trace back if needed.
