Project Document Storage and Archive Guidelines
On this page:
Establishing and maintaining a consistent project document storage and archive repository is an important piece of the Project Management process.
Overview
The IT Services PMO has created a shared space to store and archive all project documents and this page outlines some of the details.
During each phase of a project, it is important to keep all relevant project documents in a centralized location.
The reasons we collect, maintain and archive project documents in a central repository:
- Security
- Availability
- Historical Reference
