This answer is based on the best practice of using historical information and lessons learned from previous
projects to improve the planning and execution of current projects12. By using existing artifacts, such as scope
statements, project plans, risk registers, and change logs, the PM can leverage the knowledge and experience
of the previous PM and avoid repeating the same mistakes or oversights. However, the PM should also
accommodate the artifacts based on the current project success criteria, which may differ from the previous
project in terms of scope, schedule, budget, quality, or stakeholder expectations34. The PM should not rely
solely on the previous PM's advice, the project sponsor's report, or the project charter, as these sources may
not provide enough detail or accuracy for the current project's scope statement. References = CompTIA
