Related Documents and Images Overview

Related documents, including both documents and images, contain information such as standards, procedures, or representative images that may be useful to project members throughout the course of a project. Typically, related documents are not presented at gate meetings, but are aids to completing project work. Related documents can exist on their own, or they can be attached to a deliverable or activity. For example, a deliverable might be for a physical prototype that is presented at a gate meeting. Documents that contain dimensions and notes, and images of the prototype can be added directly to the deliverable.

Related documents can include an array of information that is unique to each project. For example, specifications for components used to build a product, hazard materials information sheets, notes from meetings, and so on.

Anyone with access to the project can view the attached related documents. Members of the project team can add documents and images.
