Explanation
Reviewing existing artifacts - such as the project charter, business case, statement of work (SOW), or any prior documentation - is the most direct way for a project manager to understand the project's purpose, goals, and background. These documents are created during project initiation and explicitly capture the 'why' behind the project. Lessons learned (A) relate to past projects and may not be relevant to this project's purpose. A gap analysis (B) is useful for scope definition but not for understanding purpose. A retrospective (D) is a post-execution activity used in agile to reflect on past sprints.
