A first-time project manager was assigned to a project that had a duration of three months. In order to get a head start on the project, the manager took an older, completed the project and incorporated all the tools, techniques, and checklists in their entirety from that project into the current one. The older project was completed in 14 months’ time and was remarkably similar in nature. The most appropriate comment on this would be:

This is an excellent example of re-use of artifacts from prior projects.

This may be unnecessary. The project management team needs to decide what is appropriate for the project.

This is not the correct procedure. The project manager should always create processes and documents afresh for new projects.

This is not correct. The project manager is violating copyright and intellectual property rights of the organization's prior customers.
