Record Management and Retention

Imagine that you have been hired by a federal agency to recommend implementation of a records management and retention process. This is your first job that involves working with records management and retention rules. Discuss the individual tasks that you think would be appropriate to include in this area of responsibility. Also discuss the general rules for electronic record management and retention. Include in the discussion some of the pros and cons of instituting a formal record management process and implementation plan, including tools and resources that you think may be useful in supporting the work.
